Living and Sleeping
The main room unites rest and relaxation within a warm, well-lit 35m² layout. Sleeping accommodation for one guest is seamlessly integrated, with a material palette that keeps the space feeling open and deliberate.
Precision and Character on Dornacherstrasse
Set within a distinguished residential building at Dornacherstrasse 161, TRIO PICASSO 32 occupies a compact yet thoughtfully arranged 35m² footprint in Basel - Gundeli's south-central fabric. The apartment sits in a neighbourhood that balances the everyday rhythms of a working Swiss city with proximity to the institutions — galleries, theatres, market squares — that have long made Basel - Gundeli a destination of consequence in Central Europe. The building's façade reflects the characteristic mid-century vernacular of the district: solid masonry, measured proportions, and a street presence that speaks to permanence rather than spectacle.
Inside, the apartment has been arranged with the solo guest in mind. Every element occupies its rightful position: sleeping, living, and working areas flow without friction across the available space, and the material palette — warm neutrals, clean surfaces, considered lighting — creates an atmosphere that feels composed rather than cramped. The name TRIO PICASSO references the curatorial sensibility of the Special Apartments Team, who approach each property in their Basel - Gundeli portfolio as a distinct chapter rather than a standard letting.
The surrounding neighbourhood along Dornacherstrasse rewards those who walk. Independent cafés, neighbourhood bakeries, and tram connections to the city centre are all within close reach, placing Basel - Gundeli's old town, the Rhine waterfront, and the world-class Kunstmuseum comfortably within reach without requiring a car. The area has an authentic, unlaboured character that distinguishes it from the more tourist-dense centre, offering a vantage point from which the city can be experienced on its own terms.
Practical details are straightforward: check-in is available from 15:00, and check-out is by 10:00. The apartment accommodates one guest. Pets are not permitted. For those seeking a base in Basel - Gundeli that offers quality without excess, TRIO PICASSO 32 presents a lucid and well-executed option in one of Switzerland's most rewarding cities.
