Wohnhochhaus Weitblick

Wohnhochhaus Weitblick is a modern residential tower near the Swiss border in Lörrach featuring an distinctive parallelogram-shaped footprint. The building houses twenty apartments of varying sizes and stands as a notable landmark at the city's southern entrance.

The building was constructed between 2014 and 2016 in a rapid construction process with regular floor additions. This efficient building method allowed the project to reach completion within a relatively short timeframe.

The structure received the Hugo Häring Award in 2017 for its architectural design and function as a visual marker at the southern entrance of Lörrach.

The building is located in an earthquake-prone zone and features specialized construction elements for vibration damping. Its position at the city boundary makes it easily visible and accessible from various vantage points.

The structure was built with a foundation of drilled piles that penetrate deep below the surface to ensure stability. Additionally, the balconies are separated from the main building by thermal insulation systems that enhance living comfort.
