Oppenheim Architecture

Basel, Switzerland

Oppenheim Architecture explores the potential of a site as archeologists search for the code that will unlock the vision of a project. The soil, the colors, the landscape, the winds, and the movement of the sun are all elements that are discovered, studied, and considered while shaping the design and, more importantly, the experience of a building.
The firm believes that buildings and their environment should be deeply symbiotic, where projects “belong” to their site and form follows feeling. Guided by three philosophical pillars—the spirit of place, silent monumentality, and the essential—they have spent decades creating landmark architecture that is highly sensitive and responsive to its context and climate.
