Case Study – Haus Senn – 1938
- Riehen
- The house as a vessel allowing to travel into a seemingly distant place. In a con8nuous mo8on, the House Senn by O>o and Walter Senn mediates between the public life of the village and a withdrawn oasis in nature.
- Its heavy brick body stretches into the landscape through a lightweight pavilion. Shaped as an L, one arm gathers the dense service and sleeping chambers, while the other opens like a ship’s deck into spacious living areas overlooking the horizon.
- The journey it sets in mo8on unfolds through movement, a transi8on revealed only upon boarding.
