We placed second in the design competition for the Brühlmann Areal housing development in Schaffhausen. The two building blocks frame the existing street spaces and form a semi-public courtyard. The public facilities are consistently oriented towards Schwabentor, Adlerstrasse and Ringstrasse, bringing life to the public space and anchoring the building in urban life. The ground floor is conceived as a stage rather than a threshold: a place where the private sphere meets the public sphere and urban interaction becomes possible.

On 28 May, our project team, together with Fürst Laffranchi Civil Engineers, visited the steel construction firm SOTTAS Stahl- und Metallbau in Bulle. In addition to touring the company’s production halls, we were able to observe the fabrication of a box girder element for our 91-metre-long, free-span bridge.

The foundation stone was laid on 13 February, after structural work on the new Clinic 2 building had already begun in autumn. In a dignified ceremony, the time capsule was placed in the floor slab and a toast was made to the upcoming development. Phase 1 of construction is expected to be completed in 2031, with the final completion of the new Clinic 2 building scheduled for 2042.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to everyone involved for their work on the University Hospital Basel generation project.
