I stumbled across a list of places to see in Basel (link now broken) and decided to venture out and have a look at some of the listed architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freidorf Residential Estate (1920) by Hannes Meyer in Muttenz near Basel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antoniuskirche (1927), near Kannenfeldplatz, Basel by Karl Moser<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really like this church building. It feels very modern. The stained glass windows are exceptional. Highly recommended. More background info is available at Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breite Zentrum (2004), Z\u00fcrcherstr. 149, 4052 Basel<\/strong>
The Breite Hotel was designed by Larghi and Stula. More details on the design can be found on the hotel’s website<\/a>. The hotel manager was very friendly and would have shown me a room. Unfortunately all rooms were taken due to the watch and jewellery trade fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residential Housing in a former factory (2005) by Buol and Z\u00fcnd at Oetlingerstrasse 69 in Basel<\/strong>
This building proved difficult to find as the former factory is located behind an apartment building in Klein-Basel withia an inner courtyard. But it is an instant fave. I would love to live in a building like this. Well worth the search time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apartment House in Riehen (2009) by Pedrocchi Meier Architekten at Hinterwenkenweg 3 in Riehen near Basel<\/strong>
I am not such a fan of all the corners but it does look very spacious and the location is great:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another HdM construction in Basel-Stadt is the natural water swimming pool in Riehen. I really like the pool and it reminds me of old wooden lidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
