Coliving with a garden in Annemasse
At the Annemasse Lodge, coliving doesn't stop at the front door. With a 1,500 m² garden, a pool and its pool house, a pétanque court, a darts set and large terraces, the outdoors is part of daily life. Here's what living in the green — while working in Geneva — actually changes.
A real garden, not a patch of lawn
1,500 m² of shared outdoor space leaves room to breathe: a sunny spot by the pool, a shady one to read or take a call, space for a big table on weekends. After an intense day on the Swiss side, it's the ideal place to unwind without leaving home.
The pool, at the heart of summer
The pool and its pool house quickly become the gathering point when the warm days arrive: a few laps after work, a drink by the water, a quiet Sunday in the sun. A real everyday luxury — rare in a classic flatshare and unaffordable on the Geneva side.
Pétanque and darts: good times, no planning
No need to schedule an "activity": a pétanque court in the garden and a darts set are enough to start an impromptu game. It's these small moments — an evening round, a challenge between flatmates — that naturally build bonds in a house.
A vegetable patch for those who like it
The garden also has a vegetable patch. Nothing mandatory: green thumbs plant what they like, others just enjoy. Getting your hands in the soil after hours of screens is a simple stress-reliever — and sharing a harvest at a communal dinner is a good excuse to get together.
Working outside when the weather's nice
On work-from-home days (up to 2 a week for a cross-border worker — the 2026 rules), the terraces turn into an open-air office. A morning coffee facing the garden, an afternoon call on the terrace: the change of scene does focus good.
Green isn't just decoration
Several studies confirm it: seeing greenery and spending time outdoors lowers stress and helps recovery from mental fatigue. That's the whole point of a real garden 20 minutes from Geneva — Swiss professional energy by day, a calming setting on the French side in the evening.
In short
- 1,500 m² shared garden, pool + pool house, pétanque, darts, terraces, vegetable patch.
- Outdoor space that's actually used: relaxing, socializing, working in the green.
- 20 minutes from Geneva, on the French side.
