Case Study – Haus Kirschbaumweg
- Basel
- A very Swissbox: modest and simple outside, a beating heart of hidden complexity within. Amidst dense suburbia, the house sheds layers until its luminous core appears.
- The larch wooden facade adds warmth, while the loggia forms the center of the house, bringing the outside inside. Brightness from skylights and garden windows transforms corridors into spaces for lingering, reading, and social exchange, while the street side remains introverted.
- Like a Swiss character, it reveals itself gradually; don’t judge a book by its cover. Hochschule Luzern: Basel um 1980 - Zwischen Postmoderne und Swissbox, Published 2017, Essaysammlung Vertiefungsarbeit - Herbstsemester 2016.
