Single-Family Home in Rodersdorf / Berrel Berrel Kräutler Architekten

Florencia Mena — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 03:00:00 +0000

The prefabricated timber-frame house stands on a slope with views over the hilly Alsatian countryside. The cubature of the detached house reflects the skilful orchestration of the local building code specifications, with the interior divided into split levels in order to create four independent levels.The roof and short façades are clad in a skin of copper-titanium-zinc alloy, while spaced wooden slats were used on the long sides. The façade materials accentuate the idiosyncratic volumetry of the wooden house. The structure is formed by a wooden shell mounted under the roof, which serves as the upper storey.

For the classroom extension and sports hall construction project in the municipality of Biel-Benken, the primary aim is to provide space to accommodate the increased number of pupils and to suit modern teaching methods. In addition to the school’s sports requirements, a new sports hall is to be built to cater for the various activities of clubs and associations in the local community. The new building will be located on the sloping terrain between the existing school building and Fraumattenstrasse and will form a link between the existing school building in the north and the prospective village square in the south. The school building was completed in 2010 and the sports hall is being constructed in a later stage of the project.

Water Reservoir / Berrel Berrel Kräutler

A building particularly worthy of note was constructed on the Bruderholz site, a popular, nearby recreational area, when water reservoirs were built for the city of Basel. Only one floor is visible above ground despite the immense size of the water storage facility. This is due to the architectonical responsibility that the building assumes in the view of its central and public site in the midst of a grown park landscape, hence, the need to integrate the building into the park and to shape this public space accordingly.
