The property is located in a sought-after location very close to the cathedral and the town center of Arlesheim. The popular Ermitage is also in the immediate vicinity.
The property, built by the renowned Dorenbach Architects (Basel), impresses with its simple, elegant, and at the same time extraordinary building body, which presents itself inwardly like a shell with rounded and curved shapes.
Particularly noteworthy features are the modern, energy-efficient building technology (water-water heat pump, photovoltaic), the high-quality materials used, and qualitative interior architecture.
The floor plans of the single-family house are generously distributed over three floors: The ground floor includes the entrance area with guest toilet and the south-facing living room with kitchen, which in turn connects to the winter garden.
In the two-story part of the living room with fireplace, the high window directs the view towards the village, vineyard, and sky. The internal staircase leads to the open gallery on the upper floor, which also offers beautiful views over the glazed facade. The two private bedrooms are oriented as places of retreat towards the protected garden side of the property. The connecting element across all floors is the core with the various sanitary facilities.
The main room of the basement is internally connected to the ground floor but also has an autonomous entrance and exit, so this part of the house can certainly be used as a workspace or guest area or as a living unit for a second generation.
The outdoor areas and the garden layout are designed to be partly open and partly protected. Two parking spaces are available in front of the house entrance; additional parking options are available in the common area or in the nearby public parking garage.
It should be noted that due to the generous open spaces, with few structural measures, further variably usable rooms can certainly be generated, e.g., by repurposing the winter garden or dividing the basement.
