Im Baumgarten

Dec 30

Set on a hillside in Riehen with panoramic views over Basel, the residential development comprises semi-detached and detached houses arranged in a careful composition across the site. The architectural concept is defined by generous daylight, clear structural logic, and high-quality materials, resulting in a contemporary yet restrained expression with strong indoor-outdoor connections.

Set into the terrain

Each volume is positioned to optimize orientation, ensuring ample natural light and privacy while creating private outdoor spaces. A shared underground garage provides direct access to each home and frees the ground plane for continuous, uninterrupted landscaping.

A restrained language

Geometric volumes and textured concrete façades lend the ensemble a distinct contemporary presence. With clean lines and measured proportions, the houses settle elegantly into the hillside, forming a quiet dialogue between architecture and landscape.
