Case Study – Hofmatt bei Rünenberg – 17th century

  • Rünenberg
  • Set in the rolling hills of Basel Land, this farm has undergone various conversions and additions over time adapting to changing time periods. One enters directly into the barn, a 19th-century addition located one floor above the stables.
  • A lowered floor serves as a hay store, enabling the farmers to shovel the hay down level by level to the cattle below.
  • Hofmatt makes efficient use of its site and spaces, cultivating the surrounding land while evolving over time.
