The five building volumes are placed around a central area from which they are accessed. The setting emphasizes the local topography and offers fascinating views of the surrounding landscape as well as views of the city of Aarburg. The qualities of the outside areas are transferred to the differentiated floorplan typologies. The stories are divided into two or three apartments and the buildings are efficient on both the structural and the domestic installation level. The limpid structure shows variegated options for the floorplans of the approximately 145 apartments. These measures help achieve the extensive requirements of the 2000-Watt-society.

The masterplan for the development of the City-Gate plot in Basel was designed by Diener & Diener architects. In interaction with the existing villa on the woody area, four tall, loosely placed structures form an open interior space. The primary theme of the buildings designed by Diener & Diener, Herzog & de Meuron and Luca Selva architects is the forest clearing. Hence the massive concrete columns of the eleven storey building appear to grow straight from the soil and, like trees, they narrow towards the top. The three diverse types of columns give the external supporting structure a strong and lively appearance. The facilities open to the public are located on the ground floor, the nursing care places are found on the 1st and 2nd floor and on the floors above are the 100 apartments for elderly people. The smartness of the floorplans lies in the well proportioned compactness of the layout that arranges the rooms around a central kitchen. Continue reading Luca Selva
