Hammam and Apartements in Patumbah-Park / Miller & Maranta

Architecture
Villa Patumbah was built in 1883-1885 by Chiodera & Tschudy for Carl Fürchtegott Grob. The architectural design, with lush stylistic motifs, reflects the material wealth of the builder and his memories of extensive travels and business success in Southeast Asia.

Along the park edges, two irregularly cut volumes are integrated into the park landscape by large incisions and restrained colors and material.
