Extension and Alteration of an Apartment and Office Building

There were two options for enlarging the SUVA Basel branch: demolition of the existing 1950’s building to give way for an entirely new building or an addition making use of the corner site. The retention of the old building gave rise to the solution of a glass enclosure covering both new (offices and apartments) and old building.
