Originally conceived as a temporary space, the Hinterhof club in Basel underwent a redesign after receiving a contract extension. Developed in collaboration with architect Jens Müller, the project aims to preserve the industrial character of the warehouse.
Drawing inspiration from diverse sources, including Erich von Däniken's pseudo-scientific fantasies and Carlo Scarpa's architecture, we seamlessly integrated spatial elements like plinths and dividing screens into the existing structure. Upon closer inspection, these elements subtly reveal themselves as our interventions, and the boundaries between the old and the new become less defined.
