Case Study – Wildt’sches Haus
- Basel
- Facing Basel’s lively and historic Petersplatz, the Wildt’sches Haus rises as one of the city’s finest Baroque residences.
- From the plaza, the symmetry, ornament, and grandeur of the façade invite the imagination: one envisions gilded mirrors, flickering candlelight, and silk gowns gliding through opulent salons : glimpses of private power suggested to the public.
- House and square converse across time, the proportions, rhythms, and elegance of the residence reflecting the enduring history and prestige of Basel.
