Residential development Elco Park

94 residential units will be built on the former commercial site in Allschwil / BL. Following discontinuation of activities by ELCO AG (today Seetal ELCO AG) at the Allschwil location, Burckhardt+Partner planned a development project involving a change in use of the site. Thanks to a quarter plan, it was then possible to convert the commercial site definitively into a residential zone in mid 2006.

The 94 residential units are divided into three different building types.

Long building

The building is situated on a busy road and serves as backbone and noise barrier for the entire developed area with 30 apartments over five storeys. The various large apartments are based on the same ground plan principle with living space over the entire depth of the building, generous balcony/room level to the garden and a core zone with wet rooms and kitchen.

Point building

Seven point buildings, four and five storey, are arranged precisely on the inner part of the site. The differing alignment of the buildings creates exciting outer areas, views and open spaces.
Two apartments are planned for each floor thus enabling opening out on three sides.

Terraced houses

The seven terraced houses on Merkurstrasse complete the urban development pattern of this side street. The houses stretch over three storeys with two balconies on the set-back attic and have an own garden.

The developed area is surrounded by a naturally designed garden.
