在巴塞尔的Matthäusquartier的一个金属制品商店上方，升起了八个新的住宅单元。新的四层建筑由预制木构件制成，坐落在现有的地面结构之上。在街道一侧，新增的建筑与邻近房产的屋檐高度一致，并将邻近的屋顶边缘重新诠释为锯齿形屋顶。它的形状和方向也使它成为建筑的太阳能电池板的理想位置。在庭院一侧，建筑按照分区的要求向后退，为每个公寓创造了一个宽敞的阳台。
Above a metalwork shop in Basel’s Matthäusquartier, eight new residential units rise. Made from prefabricated wood elements, the new four-story building sits atop the existing ground-level structure. On the street side, the addition matches the eave height of the neighboring property and reinterprets the adjacent roof edge as a sawtooth roof. Its shape and orientation also make it the ideal location for the building’s solar panels. On the courtyard side, the building is stepped back as required by zoning, creating a spacious balcony for each apartment.
住宅单元在街道上进入，新的和现有元素的混合感觉非常自然。这个入口区的气氛是由过去的痕迹以及建筑结构中固有的钢筋混凝土和砖石工程所决定的。从地面上看，一个由预制木制元件制成的楼梯通向上面的公寓的温暖氛围。
The residential units are entered at street level, where the mix of new and existing elements feels perfectly natural. The atmosphere in this entrance area is defined by traces of the past, and by the reinforced-concrete and masonry work intrinsic to the building’s structure. From ground level, a staircase made from prefabricated wood elements leads to the warmer atmosphere of the apartments above.
大型金属板保护木质结构不受影响，并增加了城市的魅力。经营底层金属车间的建筑公司广泛参与了这个项目–他们制作了面向街道的外墙，以及其他许多部件–他们的材料随处可见。制作和施工过程的简单性在完工后的建筑中依然可见，不同材料之间的相互作用对空间的氛围有很大的贡献。
Large metal panels protect the wood structure from the elements and add urban flair. The construction firm that runs the metal shop on the ground floor was extensively involved in the project – they fabricated the street-facing facade, among many other components – and their materials are visible everywhere. The simplicity of the fabrication and construction processes remains visible in the finished building, and the interplay between the different materials contributes significantly to the atmosphere of the space.
整个扩建工程及其所有的固定装置在最大程度上实现了 “城市开采 “的理念。这个想法是基于这样一个论点，即在可行的情况下，所有用于建造建筑的资源都应该是可重复使用、可回收或可堆肥的。该建筑的设计和建造考虑到了这些限制。因此，它的几乎所有部件都是用螺丝连接的，便于拆卸，而不是用胶水粘住的。为了与这种思维方式保持一致，木地板是用螺钉安装的，铬钢浴室是无接头的，暖气管道和电线管是暴露的。
The entire addition and all of its fixtures implement the idea of “urban mining” to the greatest extent possible. This idea is based on the argument that all the resources used to build a building should be reusable, recyclable, or compostable whenever feasible. The building was designed and built with these restrictions in mind. As a result, almost all of its components are attached with screws for easy removal, rather than being glued down. In keeping with this way of thinking, the wood floors are installed with screws, the chrome-steel bathrooms are jointless, and the heating ductwork and electrical conduits are exposed.
