Case Study – Koechlin House
- Riehen
- At the center, the courtyard beats like a heart, binding three levels, drawing light inward, and opening unexpected sightlines. Visual connections stretch across spaces, weaving a network of gazes and encounters.
- Continuity flows without interruption, carrying movement and life. Functionally, the Koechlin House blends activities (sleeping, working, cooking, and resting) into a seamless choreography where openness and intimacy shape the rhythm of living.
