Case Study – Villa an der Hardstrasse 1

  • Basel
  • A villa shaped like a Neo-Gothic castle, expressing the vision of architect Gustav Kelterborn. In the leafy suburbs of industrial Basel, its street-facing façade reveals prestigious details.
  • A northern German style, reinterpreted for Basel with local red sandstone. Especially the richly decorated oriel, set at the corner and crowned with a pointed roof spire, draws the eye.
  • A striking home standing out among all the ordinary villas of the cityscape.
