The Villa "Frame" is more than a home – it's an architectural statement. Built between 1967 and 1969 by Basel architects Max Rasser and Tibère Vadi, it exemplifies the ideas of the International Style, inspired by Mies van der Rohe and Richard Neutra. Clear forms, an elegant steel-glass construction, and a massive concrete base characterize the building, which blends harmoniously into the slope of Riehen.

The living concept combines architectural strictness with the highest comfort: light-flooded rooms thanks to generous window fronts, a well-thought-out 5 × 5 m grid, open transitions from indoor to outdoor spaces, and a spacious garden with a pool create an unparalleled living atmosphere.

The location – green, cultural, and close to the city Riehen, known as the "large green village" with around 20,000 inhabitants, offers a unique combination of intact nature and urban proximity. Walks in the Sarasinpark or in the binational "Landschaftspark Wiese" begin directly in front of the door. At the same time, Basel can be reached in just a few minutes – with its old town, international companies, universities, and renowned museums like the Fondation Beyeler or the Vitra Design Museum.
