Visible from the street; the inside is private.
Completed in 1978 in Basel's Altstadt Grossbasel district, the Sodeck Commercial Building is a postmodern corner structure designed by the collaborative team of Dieter Righetti, Wolfgang Schett, Marcus Diener, and Roger Diener. Characteristic of postmodern design's playful departure from modernist austerity, the building exemplifies the movement's engagement with contextual urbanism and formal experimentation that defined Swiss architecture in the late 1970s.
