Kirschgarten House, designed by Buchner Bründler Architekten and completed in 2018, is a single-family residence in Basel, Switzerland. Inserted into a dense historic neighborhood, the project negotiates between the scale of the surrounding buildings and the privacy required for domestic life through a compact volume and carefully controlled openings.

The house is organized vertically, with exposed concrete defining much of the structure and interior. Rooms are connected through openings, changes in level, and a central circulation sequence rather than conventional corridors, while large windows and recessed terraces bring daylight into the depth of the building and establish selective views toward the surrounding gardens.

Concrete remains largely exposed across walls, slabs, and ceilings, making the construction system part of the domestic interior. Timber joinery and furnishings introduce a contrasting material layer, while the relationship between mass, openings, and internal voids defines the spatial character of the house.
