We recently featured BIG's dramatic NY pyramid, but the busy firm just notified us of yet another awesome project that they're getting started on in Switzerland. The plan is to transform a 1960s warehouse into a multifunctional space dedicated to the intersection of art, commerce, working, and living. Called, Transitlager, the restored building is part of a larger redevelopment of Basel’s upcoming Dreispitz neighborhood, which is becoming an attractive and inviting urban quarter. The industrial area is characterized by hard lines and the renovated and extended warehouse will reflect its origins with a modern twist on those geometries. BIG will update the existing warehouse and add an extension on top of it, which will include a green roof, courtyard gardens, daylighting and views.
