Apartments KüchlinBasel, Switzerland 2004 - 2006Kinvar AG, Basel Architecture, realization, Collaboration with Bernhard Floris Architekt |
In the suburb of Steinen, Basel’s traditional movie mile, November 2007 saw the opening of the city’s first multiplex cinema: The “Kuechlin”, built between 1911 and 1912 as a variety theater, was expanded by an adjoining new structure into a movie theater complex with a total of eight halls and 2300 seats. In the old building, parts of which are protected as a historic monument, offices and apartments were built in what was once the stage tower and a bar has opened in the former foyer.
On the roof of the new addition, five spacious, two-storey penthouse apartments have been built, generating the exciting sensation of separate living high above the hustle and bustle of the Steinen suburb. |
