As part of the City of Liestal’s takeover of the former Engelsaal, our office was commissioned to support the redesign of the Stadtsaal, including the associated refurbishment works. The aim of the project was to adapt the spatial programme of the existing hall both structurally and functionally to the new usage concept, while simultaneously creating new organisational structures for an independent operation.

A key element of the refurbishment concept is the newly created entrance area. It is now organised independently from the adjacent hotel entrance and is clearly defined by a new canopy, giving it a distinct identity. From here, visitors are welcomed via a forecourt cloakroom area, which also serves as an evening ticket desk and structures access to the hall.
