Schaulager, Münchenstein

The Schaulager ("display storeroom") in Münchenstein is a somewhat unusual venue, which stores and displays artworks of international significance. Our mandate consisted in implementing the building scheme. Key tasks included development to ready-to-build stage, in close collaboration with the client and architect, of the new building type – combining the functions of artwork storage and display – and the supervision of its construction on site. One particularly challenging aspect was the ongoing process of deadline, cost and quality control. This served as the basis for investment decisions as the design and construction works proceeded.
