Case Study – Einfamilienhaus an der Angensteinerstrasse 15 – 1895
- Basel
- An opening at the top creates a luminous core that connects all floors of the house. Since it is attached on both sides, this vertical light source becomes essential.
- The hierarchy of light emerges - bright at the top and dark at the bottom.
- Yet, this contrasts with the social order: the upper-class lives in the middle, where conditions are most comfortable, while servants occupy the top and bottom, enduring extreme light and temperature.
