Diener & Diener - Switzerland Apartment Building Schönau Schönaustrasse 33, Basel 1996 - 2002 |
Diener & Diener architects errected an apartment building at the Schönaustrasse in the years 1996 - 2002.
The building is part of a perimeter block development and is integrated unobtrusively into the street front. By using two different colours, the façade length of the six-storey building is visually reduced. The plastered façade is dominated by the steady repetition of uniform windows of nearly square form. The uniform windows are equipped with swinging casements. Only a short time after the apartment building Diener & Diener could realize the Dorint Hotel in the immediate vicinity on the opposite side of the road. |
