For thirty years, Blaser Architekten has been offering all services in the fields of space, architecture and general planning. We are active in all building typologies, as well as in different project sizes and mandate forms. Thanks to our experience, knowledge and activity in the field of construction, we are aware of our responsibility for economic, energy and social sustainability.


We pursue our endeavours in sustainability with the following attitude and actions:

Economy
Property represents the greatest economic value in the world. With our work as architects and the high monetary turnover associated with it, we form the interface between the financiers and the companies and suppliers. The economic use of funds, for example, determines purchase prices and flat rents. All our projects pursue an economic use of funds in order to create and operate sustainable space. We act and operate independently in economic terms. We have achieved and managed our entire growth and infrastructure from our own resources without loans.

Energy and environment
Building and space management account for around a third of the resources consumed on planet Earth. We therefore endeavour to optimise our own premises, as well as those that we plan and build, in order to cause as little damage as possible to the environment and nature, and we have equipped the entire roof of our office with a PV system. To supplement the heating, we use a wood-burning stove with wood from our own wood production. Our office is naturally ventilated and cooled, and when selecting the locations of our mandates, we pay attention to the geographical proximity to our architectural office. We get around the city by bike and e-bike, and our next car will be electric. Since the pandemic, we have done without all unnecessary printouts.

Sustainability has also found its way into our projects. The question of sensible consumption comes first. In the design and planning process, we incorporate the reuse of building components (circular construction), a sustainable choice of materials as well as efficiency, consistency and sufficiency wherever possible. In our planning, we pay particular attention to the issues of energy, water and wastewater, emissions, waste and mobility, as well as the smart operation of our buildings. We have a central office for sustainability development to acquire, disseminate and apply the necessary knowledge.

Society and social affairs
As a company with forty employees, we are committed to social sustainability as an employer. We have always aimed for a high proportion of women, train apprentices to become draughtsmen and women specialising in architecture and offer internships for prospective architects. Equal opportunities, generational diversity and a good work-life balance are important to us. We have already offered many people the opportunity to return to work. Training and further education, equal opportunities and a flat hierarchy are anchored in our DNA and will remain so.

REVISITED: A visit to Taverne Johann after 20 years

With our REVISITED format, we revisit completed projects and ask: How does architecture stand the test of time? Following a single-family house in Witterswil last year, our second visit takes us to Taverne Johann in Basel. More than 20 years after the renovation, Christian and head chef Christoph Hartmann speak again in the video about the interplay between hospitality and space.

More natural light, lower energy consumption, and streamlined costs

… How Glazing Systems Sustainably Brighten Spaces In our projects, the use and integration of light always play a central role. Whether in offices, laboratories, or residential spaces, daylight is a crucial factor in both new construction and renovation projects. And for good reason—flooded with natural light, rooms not only create a pleasant atmosphere and a sense of spaciousness but also significantly impact energy efficiency and indoor climate. Last but not least, light and air have been proven to influence human psychology. In the following, we take a closer look at the key aspects of daylight planning from an architectural perspective and how the right glazing systems can enhance daylight supply in interior spaces.

In Focus: Interview “Green Roofs in Urban Areas” (Part 2)

The topic of green roofs and biodiversity conservation in inner cities has gained increasing importance in recent years and is becoming a key component of sustainable urban planning. As an architectural practice, we regularly engage with this subject, for example through our work on the Stücki Park project on Hochbergstrasse. This provides good reason to take a closer look. In line with our credo “sharing experience,” we aim to gain deeper insights into why urban greening and bird conservation are so important and what role Basel plays in this context. We spoke with two experts on the subject. In the second part of the interview, we exchanged views with Dr. phil. Monika Schaub from the Department of Building Applications, Trees, and Plant Protection.

Nachgefragt: Massgeschneiderte Lichtobjekte für individuelle Räume. Im Gespräch mit PrintYourLight.

Wie entstehen Leuchten, die weit über ihre Funktion als Lichtquelle hinausgehen und die Architektur eines Raums fortführen? Im Gespräch mit den Gründern von PrintYourLight sprechen wir über den Einfluss von Architektur, Natur und Co-Design auf ihre Arbeit, die Möglichkeiten des 3D-Drucks sowie die Rolle von Licht als identitätsstiftendes Gestaltungselement.

Digitale Transformation in der Baubranche

Auch wir bei Blaser Architekten befinden uns mitten in der digitalen Transformation aller Geschäftsabläufe und können von uns behaupten, dass wir bereits vieles umgesetzt haben. Die Digitalisierung ist aber kein Sprint, auch kein Marathon – viel mehr ein Weg, den wir nicht mehr verlassen werden. Laufend werden neue Tools entwickelt, KI wartet in immer kürzer zu werden scheinenden Intervallen mit neuen Möglichkeiten auf. Das bedeutet, dass wir die digitale Transformation nicht als Prozess verstehen, der nun bald abgeschlossen sein wird, sondern als selbstverständlich gewordener Teil unserer täglichen Aufgaben. Deswegen ist es uns wichtig, diesen Weg aufmerksam zu gehen, was heute möglich ist zu implementieren, aber auch neue Entwicklungen nicht zu verschlafen. Einer unserer Mitarbeitenden ist in diesem Thema besonders zuhause und legt sich dafür ins Zeug. Zamri Thüring ist Student des Master-Studiengangs in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) an der FHNW und arbeitet bei Blaser Architekten in der Qualitätssicherung für Computer Aided Design (CAD, QS). In diesem Blogbeitrag teilt er seine Erfahrungen und Einsichten.

Revisited: What is life like 13 years after moving in?

Our new blog format REVISITED takes a retrospective look at completed projects, offering an assessment of architecture as it is lived over time. We begin with a single-family home in Witterswil, completed in 2012. Situated at the edge of the building zone, the one-storey residence was realised as a densification of an existing plot and includes, in addition to the customary living areas, a slightly recessed studio space. The house was originally occupied by a couple to whom we have returned for a visit 13 years after their move-in.
