In May 2024, construction began on our new headquarters. After 18 months of work, the building is now complet, a major milestone that perfectly embodies the essence of Vitrocsa: innovation, minimalism, and transparency.

Located in Y-Parc in Yverdon-les-Bains Switzerland, this new site brings all our activities together under one roof and was designed to foster creativity, efficiency, and collaboration. From the foundations to the installation of our own systems, every detail was conceived to reflect the identity of the brand.

 

 

A building designed as a showroom

Our systems are not simply integrate, they structure the building itself. Key elements include:

• A 6-metre-high Pivoting Window.

• Delivery doors made with the Guillotine system, reaching 6 metres wide and 9 metres hig, a first for a Swiss building.

This new space becomes a true full-scale demonstrator of our expertise.

 

 

A building oriented toward the future

This project marks a new phase in the company’s development. Our partners around the world are already praising this new tool, which strengthens the image and vision of the parent company.

The building also incorporates sustainable technologies, including:

• Energy piles for geothermal heating.

• A photovoltaic roof providing full energy autonomy.

Every architectural project presents its own set of challenges : extreme climates, marine environments, or unique topographies. That is why Vitrocsa systems are designed to adapt to any situation, maintaining the same commitment to performance and aesthetics.

Thanks to high-precision engineering, Vitrocsa systems offer total creative freedom, enabling architects to express their vision without compromising on design, comfort, or durability. As shown in the three projects featured here, from resisting intense cold to maintaining minimal lines in a saline environment or blending seamlessly into a dense urban context, each system adjusts to the specific needs and climate of the project.

This tailor-made approach embodies the essence of Vitrocsa : combining innovation, elegance, and technical mastery to harmonize architecture and environment, anywhere in the world.

 

Designed by Brazilian studio MK27, The Flag House rises to a unique challenge: recreating the fluidity of tropical spaces in an alpine setting with harsh winters. Resting on snow like a suspended glass box, the house opens generously to nature.

With 102 glass panels some reaching 4.3 meters in height, mainly featuring Vitrocsa Fixed and Sliding systems, the residence offers breathtaking panoramic views. A 2.7-meter Pivoting window completes the ensemble, reinforcing the project’s signature: controlled transparency serving exceptional thermal comfort.

 

 

On a series of uninhabited islands, Shebara Resort redefines the idea of sustainable luxury. Each villa, shaped like a pearl reflecting the sea and sky, combines organic architecture with technological innovation.
The motorized Curved Vitrocsa windows open smoothly to the outside, enhancing the feeling of total immersion in the marine landscape. The project embodies a rare balance between avant-garde design, environmental responsibility, and technical excellence.

 

 

In the heart of Manhattan, Jardim is an oasis of greenery and serenity by Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld. Two towers connected by a central garden open widely to the city through 195 Vitrocsa Fixed and Sliding windows ranging from 2.6 to 3.35 meters in height.
The minimalist profiles fade away in favor of natural light, offering residents a unique sense of openness and privacy within the dense urban context of New York.

The Vitrocsa Pivoting System was designed to push the limits of architectural openings. Combining minimalist elegance with high-precision Swiss engineering, it creates fluid and spectacular spaces while guaranteeing outstanding performance and durability.

A technology inspired by Swiss watchmaking

• Every component is designed to remain visually discreet while ensuring perfectly balanced and smooth movement.
• The patented pivoting axes and high-precision bearings offer unmatched ease of use, even for panels weighing several hundred kilograms.
• Design and manufacturing are fully carried out in Switzerland, in the pure tradition of micromechanics and Swiss Made quality.

 

Exceptional dimensions

The Vitrocsa system makes it possible to create monumental openings up to 12 m² and 600 kg per panel, while maintaining the brand’s signature slim profiles and visual lightness.

This technical achievement offers architects complete freedom of design, without compromising aesthetics or performance.

Flexibility for every project

The Vitrocsa Pivoting System is available in several ranges, ensuring perfect integration in any architectural context:

• V56: for infinite surfaces and outstanding technical performance
• TH+: for areas requiring enhanced thermal insulation

• 3001: the original range (created in 1992), designed for warm climates, combining lightness and efficiency

Combining technical performance and architectural elegance, this is the challenge met by the Vitrocsa Guillotine system. Designed to push the boundaries of possibility, it offers spectacular openings that integrate seamlessly into all types of projects.

 

 

Unlimited architectural freedom

The guillotine frames achieve exceptional heights without compromising aesthetics or quality. Whether for vast glass façades, monumental halls, or exclusive residential spaces, they open the door to unique architectural creations.

Strength and lightness combined

Each sash can support up to 500 kg – or even 1000 kg on request – while remaining perfectly balanced. Thanks to precision engineering, the movable sashes can be operated with just a light push, manually or motorized.

Unique flexibility in configurations

The Vitrocsa Guillotine system adapts to every project with two operating principles:

• Two identical counterbalanced sashes: an elegant and fluid solution.

• Side counterweights integrated into the finishes: offering infinite possible configurations.

This flexibility allows architects and designers to create spectacular openings, perfectly suited to both private and public spaces.

Vitrocsa transparency and design

True to Vitrocsa’s DNA, the Guillotine system retains the same fineness, minimalism, and transparency as our other solutions. Even on a very large scale, light and view remain the true protagonists.

We are delighted to share our recent collaboration with The Local Project on the Vertical Courtyard House, the private residence of architect David Montalba, located in Santa Monica Canyon, California.

Designed as a retreat for his family, this exceptional home perfectly embodies Montalba’s architectural vision: dissolving the boundaries between inside and outside through a refined interplay of light, natural materials, and transparency.

At the heart of the project, a three-story vertical atrium floods the home with natural light and connects every living space. The expansive Vitrocsa sliding glass walls integrate seamlessly into the architecture, allowing the interiors to open fully onto the gardens and the surrounding landscape.

The architect highlights the importance of this choice: “We needed the right product to allow the windows to disappear into the architecture and create a seamless continuity. Vitrocsa was certainly able to make that possible.”

An aesthetic, technical and seamless choice

At Vitrocsa, every technical detail is designed to serve architecture. The invisible frame is one of the most striking examples. Combining innovation, elegance and accessibility, it radically transforms the perception of space by removing all boundaries between inside and outside.

The frame is concealed beneath the floor finish (wood, stone, tiles, etc.), creating perfect continuity between areas. The floor appears to extend seamlessly, creating a fully invisible framing effect.

 

 

Comfort in everyday life

Beyond aesthetics, the invisible frame provides real everyday comfort:

• It allows smooth movement, especially for people with reduced mobility or young children, thanks to the absence of a floor threshold.

• It avoids tripping or imbalance, especially for wide and frequently used openings.

• It is just as easy to clean as a traditional system: leaves, water, dust… everything is designed for efficient drainage and low maintenance.

 

 

Compatible, high-performing, adaptable

The invisible frame is compatible with our TH+, V32 and V56 ranges, and is integrated by default with our Turnable Corner system. Thermally insulated, it offers the same performance as other Vitrocsa systems, regardless of the region or climate. Available with single or multi-track versions, it pushes Vitrocsa’s minimalist philosophy even further.

At Vitrocsa, we have reimagined the window as a true architectural tool. For over 30 years, we have been innovating to offer minimalist window systems that combine aesthetics, performance, and seamless integration into spaces. Here are 5 essential things to know about our solutions.

 

A Pioneering System Since 1992

Vitrocsa originated the minimalist window concept. Founded in Switzerland by Éric Joray, the company developed the first ultra-thin profile system, inspired by the micromechanical expertise of watchmaking. Since then, Vitrocsa has continuously innovated, with components manufactured in-house, specifically designed for optimal precision and durability.

Invisible Aesthetics

Vitrocsa’s signature is a clean and integrated aesthetic. Our profiles can measure as little as 18.5 mm, with frames concealed within walls, floors, and ceilings. The result? Maximum transparency, enhanced natural light, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape.

Systems Adapted to Each Project

Sliding, pivoting, guillotine, curved, open-angle, or invisible threshold: our solutions are tailored to the technical, climatic, or aesthetic needs of each project. Whether you’re building a mountain home, a seaside villa, or a cultural space, we have a custom solution.

Thermal Performance and Assured Comfort

The TH+ and V32 ranges ensure optimal thermal insulation, even in cold regions. They meet the strictest standards in terms of energy performance and water tightness (class 9A).

A Global Presence in Exceptional Projects

Chosen by leading international architects, Vitrocsa now equips iconic projects worldwide: private homes, luxury hotels, museums, pavilions… From the Flag House by Studio MK27 to the Shebara Resort by Killa Design, our windows are redefining the architectural experience.

 

At our construction site in Yverdon-les-Bains, a significant milestone has been reached: the installation of the main entrance, a Vitrocsa pivoting glass door measuring 6 meters high and 2.20 meters wide.

Designed as a bold architectural statement, this unique piece perfectly embodies Vitrocsa’s philosophy: combining minimalism, technical prowess, and elegance.

This monumental door integrates seamlessly into a façade designed to maximize transparency and natural light. With its integrated pivot system, it offers smooth movement and a spectacular visual impact.

Simultaneously, the installation of other windows is progressing rapidly, gradually shaping the lines of our future building, a space that reflects our commitment to design and performance.

We look forward to sharing more with you in the coming weeks.
