Wohnen+ Basel
Wohnen+ Basel was formed in 2017 to develop co-housing for the international community in Basel.
We are a non-profit Verein staffed by volunteers.
Our members come from many different countries and include native Baselers as well as those who moved here for work or study. To learn more, click here.
We share the belief that our lives are improved by places that bring people together and have been inspired by co-housing developments across the world.
Drop-in Event & Tours
If you would like to join us on a tour of the Felix Platter-Spital building at 10:00 or 16:00, send us an email to reserve a place.
Or simply drop-in any time between 10:00 and 16:00 at the offices of wohnen&mehr (Im Westfeld 2) for an informal chat over coffee and biscuits. No registration is needed.
We hope to see you there!
Design for Connection
The individual units will be the members’ private sphere, with traditional amenities, including private kitchen and bathroom. Members balance privacy and community by choosing their own level of engagement. They can plan and manage community activities with their neighbors, such as optional shared meals, meetings, clubs and workdays, as well as parties, lectures, or other events. Participating in this way not only benefits the community, but also helps members to get to know their neighbors.
We believe that it’s essential to live in a more sustainable manner. This includes living in smaller spaces, sharing resources, greener energy solutions and using public transport. We’re committed to housing solutions that meet this goal. We’re also planning for a time when our mobility might be reduced, and as such it’s important that our housing is centrally located and barrier-free.
Wohnen+ Basel joined the building cooperative wohnen&mehr in March 2019 and will rent 20+ apartments and a common room in Westfeld, a new multicultural, community-oriented neighborhood that wohnen&mehr is developing on the site of the old Felix Platter Areal in Basel. Occupancy is currently planned for fall/winter 2022. To learn more about Westfeld, click here.
We are now open for membership and 13 of our 22 apartments have already been reserved. Drop us a mail to learn more.
