Case Study – House with a Tree

  • Basel
  • In the calm neighbourhood of the Wettstein quarter, a Frankenstein Monster quietly resides. An old house has been stitched together with contemporary additions by the architects Sauter von Moos.
  • These autonomous structures seem to be foreign to the original building but in a playful way, they breathe new life into the almost 100 year old home.
  • These new limbs extend the body of the house and reach to the tree and garden.
