This mixed real estate project led by Constructa combines a strong architectural ambition and an exceptional environment at the crossroads of France, Germany and Switzerland. At the entrance of the Trois Pays footbridge, inaugurated 16 years ago, Les Jetées provides a modern impetus to the city, which was formerly fortified by Vauban.
In May 2023, the first phase of the project was delivered with two important buildings: Bogen, which was designed by PietriArchitectes, and the Link, a projet led by Triptyque Architecture.
The architectural and landscape design of the project was guided by three criteria: opening the town of Huningue up to the river by creating a new relationship with water, integrating the town in the Basel conurbation through an iconic project, and offering an exceptional new place to live for the residents, at the heart of the green land. This omnipresence of nature makes the new district a refuge for biodiversity, which will thus be preserved.
The 16-storey Bogen Tower stands on the Rhine, just like a lighthouse facing the river. With its architectural bias made of vertical strata, with its balconies which railings are made of glass, the high standing building attracts the eye with its sculptural style. With the building’s lines and heights, the inhabited rooms benefit from views over the Rhine, the town and the territory. Appearing like a signal tower from the “Place Abbatucci” in Huningue, the Trois Pays footbridge naturally leads to it. The side facade accompanies pedestrians from the city center to the banks, while its largely glazed ground floor accommodates various shops that complete the shopping area and contribute to the creation of many places of living and sharing. Les Jetées district has been designed to allow all residents to enjoy the qualities of this exceptional site. All the accommodations benefit from a private outdoor space, largely vegetated and designed as a loggia to preserve the privacy of the residents. Thus, the offset of the tower blades offer an unobstructed view to every dwelling.
