    Christ & Gantenbein's UK House design expanded and redefined the building's entrance lobby, amenities and lightwells. The project was completed in 2023.

  • Concept

    The intervention draws upon the existing building's layered history and consolidates its striking external expressions with a new, modern, and unique interior experience fit for a leading business location.

  • Christ & Gantenbein

Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, the office employs a team of over 90 architects from 20 countries.
