这个地方是一个古老的工厂，是巴塞尔和该区的典型。它是为数不多的城市街区之一，在其历史进程中从未被建筑物完全封闭。这鼓励我们让建筑从院子里探出头来。此外，客户与这个地方有相当的个人关系，因为他的职业生涯正是在这个地方开始的。
The place is an old work yard, typical for Basel and the quarter. It is one of the few city blocks that has never been completely closed by buildings in the course of its history. This encouraged us to let the building, as it were, peep out of the courtyard. In addition, the client has a quite personal relation to the site, as he started his professional career in that very place.
在这方面，个人与该地的关系、对使用历史的记忆以及类型学上的特殊性，共同成为该建筑创作的影响因素。
In this respect, personal relationships with the location, memories of the history of use, and a typological peculiarity come together as influencing factors for the creation of this building.
与周围建筑的接近也起到了一定的作用。我们正在寻找一种表达方式，从特写的角度以及从侧面看都可以。你沿着建筑移动，近距离地看到它。该建筑从未出现在传统的立面图中，因为它通常被画出来。该建筑一直被设计成院子里的房子。
The proximity to the surrounding buildings also plays a role. We were looking for an expression that works from a close-up perspective, as well as from a side view: You move along the building and see it up close. The building never appears in a conventional elevation, as it is usually drawn. The building is consistently designed as a house in the courtyard.
形状、物质化和结构都是对巴塞尔院子里传统的简单实用建筑的翻译。形状适应院子的形状，材料简单而坚固。元素的轻微异化和丰富性说明了庭院和建筑作为居住地的用途的改变。原有的波纹水泥纤维板被涂上清漆，栏杆的桩子被赋予了特殊的形状，起居室的柱子被赋予了每个公寓的特定形状–有人因此将它们称为 “室友”。
Shape, materialization, and construction are translations of the simple utility buildings traditionally to be found in Basel courtyards. The shape adapts to the shape of the courtyard and the materials are simple and robust. Slight alienation and ennoblement of the elements speak of the changed use of the courtyard and building as a place of residence. The raw corrugated cement fibre board is varnished in color, the stakes of the railings are given a special shape and the columns in the living rooms are given a specific shape for each apartment – someone has accordingly dubbed them “roommates”.
