New Residential High-Rise, Rankstrasse
The redevelopment of the BVB bus depot presents a key opportunity to create affordable housing in Basel without consuming additional land, while enabling the unsealing of existing surfaces. Addressing the shortage of cost-efficient housing, the project aims to deliver new apartments supported by rent incentives and efficient layouts that encourage long-term residency.
The proposal seeks to foster social interaction and vertical communities within a high-quality living environment. Sustainability and affordability are intrinsically linked: energy-efficient design and compact use reduce both operating costs and environmental impact, targeting near CO₂-neutral operation.
Given the challenging urban context, the project calls for an architecturally strong solution that can initiate future development while standing as an independent, culturally significant contribution.

Der Entwurf des neuen Stadions integriert sich harmonisch in die umgebende Landschaft und Topografie. Die Gebäudegeometrie greift die charakteristische Flächigkeit des Sportparks und des Mauerparks auf und überführt sie in ein zeitgemäßes, barrierefreies Konzept. Der historische Kontext bleibt für die Nutzer erlebbar. Der zentrale Boulevard verbindet das Stadion mit den Sportpark-Gebäuden und schafft eine attraktive Begegnungs- und Aktivitätszone. Das asymmetrische Stadionvolumen öffnet sich zum Boulevard hin, während die Erschließung durch zwei Rampen entlang des Trümmerhügels eine uneingeschränkt inklusive Zugänglichkeit für alle Nutzer gewährleistet.
