Concrete dwelling in Basel

In this characteristic project for a modern minimal urban dwelling, Buchner-Bründler Architekten replaced an old one-familyhouse in an old quarter of the citycentre by a six story concrete living tower. Two Families will be living on top of each other each at three stories of this concrete building. Every detail, from the stairs to the kitchen is designed as a concrete-oak conversation.

Replacing an 1870 single family home on a narrow six-meter wide lot, this new 5 ½ -storey building features two separate units respectively with 3 and 2 ½ floors each. The unique spatial distribution on each floor determines the architectonic articulation of the façade, where the interlocking spaces register horizontally and vertically. In the resulting composition the circulation areas constitute the closed part of the façade while the living spaces are readable as openings. The room-height glazing towards the street as well as on the courtyard side of the visible concrete façade allow the twelve-metre deep interior to be flooded with daylight. [1]
