PublicBasel2022Practice — Atelier Wettstein
+We design buildings that outlast their brief — precise in plan, generous in section, quiet in the street.
Atelier Wettstein is a Basel practice of fourteen architects. We take on a small number of commissions each year — housing, cultural buildings, and the careful reuse of industrial structures — and we stay on site until the last drawing is built.

Fields of work
+Housing
Private houses and collective housing — from a villa above Binningen to a forty-unit cooperative on the Dreispitz.
Culture & education
Reading rooms, schoolhouses, and small museums — public buildings that earn their place on the street.
Adaptive reuse
Industrial structures kept standing and made useful — structure first, surface second, demolition last.
Competitions & studies
Open competitions and feasibility studies — where we test the discipline against unfamiliar ground.
