Water reservoir Bruderholz Basel

0028Water reservoir Bruderholz Basel

As part of the construction of the new water reservoir for the city of Basel on the Bruderholz hill, an associated operations building was also realized. From the vast volume of the water storage facility, only one floor of the operations building is visible above ground.
A connection between architectural strength and landscape integration was achieved by making the building itself an integral part of the park. Like a flat stone tableau, it rises crystalline from the vegetated slope, as if it were part of it.
