  • Built in 1930, the single-family house in the We<stein district of Kleinbasel was carefully renovated in 2013 by the architects Sauter von Moos. The new wooden tower, a prefabricated structure clad with recycled fir boards, recalls the former wood factory in the neighborhood.
  • Inside, the affinity for wood conKnues through diverse parquet floors – at least four different types shape the rooms.
  • The past remains percepKble in many details and endures, while the house and the tree conKnue to grow together.
