Christ & Gantenbein

Basel-based Christ & Gantenbein anchors civic institutions and public circulation halls through monumental structural volumes defined by disciplined facade grids, precise geometric cutouts, and sharp contrasts between raw board-marked concrete and vibrant interior framework. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when resolving expansive civic atriums, integrating suspended bridge pathways beneath skylights, or sculpting massive floating volumes above shaded entry portals.

Interior view of a modern conference space with full-height metal-framed glass curtain walls and polished concrete floors by Christ & Gantenbein.

Christ & Gantenbein

An interior precedent featuring a systematic grid of metal-framed glass partitions, demonstrating high transparency and spatial layering in a contemporary workplace.

What we like about this project
The layering of multiple parallel glass partitions creates complex moiré-like reflections across the space.

Geometry
Open-plan interior divided by a rigorous grid of full-height metal-framed glass partitions and curtain walls, creating layered spatial depth.
Facade system
Internal full-height glazed partition and curtain wall system with slender metal framing.
Structural guess
Steel frame with floor-to-ceiling non-loadbearing glazed partitions.
Spatial scale
Double-height open workspace with expansive vertical proportions.
Lighting
Bright daylight filtering through expansive glazing, creating soft highlights on the polished concrete floor and vertical mullions.
Atmosphere
Clean, bright, and transparent with a quiet corporate rigor.
Environmental context
Indoor office environment with views extending out through perimeter glazing to exterior greenery and buildings.
Spatial experience
Transparent boundaries dissolve interior partitions, offering overlapping sightlines across multiple conference and workspace zones.
Composition rhythm
Strict vertical and horizontal grid of dark mullions establishing a rhythmic screen across the interior.
