Helsinki Dreispitz
Helsinki Dreispitz, a project initiated and developed by Herzog & de Meuron, comprises an archive and apartment building on Helsinki Strasse at the Dreispitz area in Basel. The warehouse contains not only the substantial archives that have accumulated since the establishment of Herzog & de Meuron in 1978 but also a collection of artworks acquired largely from artists with whom we have worked for many years. Until now the archives—plans, documents, drawings, sketches, samples of building materials, models and model fragments in different sizes and materials— were stored in several different places, making it difficult and inconvenient to source, organize and study them, for instance for publications or exhibition projects. All of these holdings are now under one roof in the Helsinki Dreispitz premises, which meet contemporary conservatorial needs and logistical requirements. The key task is the storage and care of the archives.
