I spent a lot of time at Bellerive Plage over the summer and grew to love the entrance and restaurant building. When I looked into it I found it was built in the 30s during some tough economic times. No machines were allowed in the building of it so it was a big boost to employment in the region. An "economic stimulus" building.

Designed by a Lausanne architect called Marc Piccard.

Here is some more info on the building. http://www.lausanne.ch/view.asp?DocId=27852&Language=E
