Office work is relatively recent in world history and has developed considerably since the Second World War. It was characterised above all by industrial development and technological achievements. The typewriter, the computer and the mobile phone have changed office work and the workplace. Each of these forms had its own space and furniture.
Today, the workplace is a tool and no longer a status symbol. Hierarchical cubicle offices do not meet the requirements of the new way of working. The workplace and space influence and define individual and team productivity as well as employee satisfaction, quality of working life and learning. A well-designed working environment can integrate different forms of workplace and space utilisation.
The more open an office workplace environment is, the greater the work effectiveness, provided that communication and interaction are important components of the work. There are few, if any, activities and office areas that do not fulfil this requirement. The diversity of open-space offices is great and their perception also depends on the age structure and origin of the employees: until now, most people have favoured cubicle offices for reasons of concentration, interruption, distraction and noise problems. Employees say that they need time and space to think, concentrate and reflect, but also to communicate, share information and interact socially. The trick is to find the golden mean.
The more open the working environment, the shorter the length of communication. Ongoing communication is not seen as a disruption, but as an opportunity for quick feedback, which means faster progress in work and education. Socialising binds teams together and promotes a culture of questioning and learning. Informal, unplanned learning is encouraged as a by-product of seeing, hearing and sensing how others solve a problem or master a situation.
As architectural designers of working environments, it is always important for us to have the knowledge, awareness and perception of the work being done and a courageous management decision in favour of open working. During implementation, it is important to accompany the process and implement change management if necessary. Open-spaces are flexible in terms of change and adaptation. After reviewing the processes, strengths and problems, adjustments can easily be made based on lessons learnt or internal developments.
I see the future of the working world in the ongoing evolution of communication technology and the merging of IT, as well as in location-independence. Fewer people will do more work and have the need to exchange ideas in person in open-space offices. However, communicative office landscapes will only work if people are on site...

On May 9, 2025, the Industry Night Regio Basel will take place – a unique event where companies open their doors. Blaser Architekten has taken the initiative and brought together seven companies from the region to provide a joint insight into the diverse aspects of construction projects.
In Liesberg, we are currently realising a residential building that deliberately leverages the complex conditions of its hillside location. The clear orientation and carefully positioned openings towards the landscape not only enable impressive long-distance views; the quality of living inside is also enhanced by a sustainable construction approach and integrated building services, designed with the future in mind. We spoke with our client and developer and asked…
The Hirsacker Foundation is a private foundation based in Liesberg, Canton of Basel-Landschaft. By public mandate, it offers places in "Supported Living" as well as in "Accompanied Day Structuring" specifically for people on the autism spectrum. Founded in 1987, more than 60 employees are currently dedicated to enabling clients to lead self-determined and fulfilling lives. Tailored to individual needs, the services include nature-oriented, manual, and creative activities that take place in a safe and supportive environment, focusing on joy of life, development opportunities, and social inclusion. Maintenance work that has become necessary is now being undertaken by Blaser Architects. This encompasses several properties of the Hirsacker Foundation, particularly the "Riederwald" residential building and the "Hirsacker" area. A first sub-project has already been completed, with other works still pending.
Sustainability in the construction industry is one of the key challenges of our time, while also offering significant opportunities to shape the built environment responsibly and with a long-term perspective. It is a topic that we engage with every day. Whether working on private or commercial developments, small-scale interventions or large, complex projects, the many dimensions of sustainability are an integral part of our planning process and influence a wide range of project tasks. They continue to shape the way we design, plan and build.
… The invisible logistics behind a hospital renovation. Together with Butscher Architekten, we realised the conversion and refurbishment of the new Privée Ward at Klinik Stephanshorn in St. Gallen. We discussed with Christoph Butscher the challenges involved in logistics, planning and coordination while keeping hospital operations running.
DEEP DIVE – Auseinandersetzung mit Branchen-Themen: Bauindustrie zwischen Politischem Mikromanagement und Europäisierung
Rückblick auf unser Podiumsgespräch im Klybeck Areal am 3. September 2024. Am 3. September 2024 fand im Klybeck Areal ein spannendes Podiumsgespräch statt, das sich mit der Frage beschäftigte, wie die Bauindustrie den Spagat zwischen politischem Mikromanagement und Europäisierung meistern kann. Gastgeberin auf dem Klybeck Areal war Anita Fetz, alt Ständerätin und Verwaltungsrätin der Rhystadt AG. Auf dem Podium waren Hans Peter Wessels, alt Regierungsrat Kanton Basel-Stadt, Gabriela Theus, Geschäftsführerin Immofonds Asset Management AG Zürich sowie Christian W. Blaser, Blaser Architekten Basel. Moderiert wurde das Podium von Manuel Hutter, Verwaltungsrat der Kontur Projektmanagement AG. Anlass für uns, das Gespräch und die Gedanken dieses Abends noch einmal Revue passieren zu lassen...
Under the title “TeckNow”, the former watch factory of Basis Watch M. Thommen AG will open its doors from 7 to 10 May 2026 and become a stage for design, art and music. At the centre of the exhibition is the furniture design of Werner Blaser (1924–2019). Selected pieces from the collections of Daniel Salzberg and Christian W. Blaser will be presented alongside models by contemporary manufacturers Spectrum Design, Molteni&C and Löffler ERGO. We are pleased to introduce our partners in more detail below.
Founded in 1993, our office can now look back on a career spanning more than 30 years. 30 years in which we have been able to implement a large number of exciting projects, gain experience and, last but not least, continuously develop ourselves. What has remained the same is the passion for our profession and the unconditional thirst for knowledge and the will to share it, because more than ever we believe that it is not about preserving know-how and experience, but about sharing and passing it on - this is the only way to create mutual exchange, progress and participation. Our company claim “sharing experience” is intended to fulfill this desire and is part of our relaunch, which we implemented on the occasion of our 30th company anniversary...
