Case Study – Haus zum Delphin – 18th century
- Basel
- Huber built the Haus zum Delphin for his family and business. Its vast scale required inhabitants to function as a unified household, maintaining the property with machine-like precision.
- Grand interiors and a late Baroque garden staged a theatrical setting for guests. A raised ground floor, heavy walls, and grated windows distanced the street, while servants occupied the entresol and quarters across the courtyard, reflecting social hierarchy.
