Shaping spaces together

To enable the former Engelsaal to operate in a contemporary manner following its acquisition by the city of Liestal, the hall has undergone comprehensive renovations since August. Key upgrades include a separate entrance area with a new canopy, an evening box office with cloakroom, the installation of a catering kitchen and bar, as well as the modernisation of media and stage technology. After just a few months of renovation, Stadtsaal Liestal now shines in a new light and reopens its doors to a wide range of events and celebrations. We supported the project as planners and in construction management, providing external specialist planning for HVAC, sanitary, and electrical systems.

The Naubrücke in Laufen is currently the subject of debate. A possible relocation is being discussed, which supporters justify with the bundling of road and rail traffic. This, they argue, would create the opportunity to establish a cohesive recreational and leisure area, while also enabling complementary uses in the fields of housing, work, recreation, and leisure. The canton, the municipality, and all political parties support the new route. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that complex engineering structures and additional construction would lead to significantly higher costs. According to them, the improvement of school route safety cited by supporters could also be achieved without relocation; a tunnel under the railway at the football field would be sufficient.

Together with strong partners by our side, we participated in the Industrienacht for the first time this year. We will be taking part again next year and are already looking forward to the preparations and to Friday, 24 April 2026.

Earliest from 2029 onward, the main building of the Kunstmuseum will undergo comprehensive renovation and remain closed for the duration of the construction period. For the departments and staff whose offices are located in the main building, temporary facilities will be provided at St. Alban-Vorstadt and in the harbour. These include the restoration department, the studios and offices of Education & Mediation, the Provenance Research Department, and the entire Prints and Drawings Collection.
