The former industrial building, Silo in Basel, was given a new life with cute porthole windows and cool working spaces/hostel rooms.
The Basler Lagerhausgesellschaft, or in simpler terms for all the non-German speakers, BLG, was built in 1912 as a German silo storing grains and cocoa that was transported here from Latin America. It used to be one of the Deutsche Bahn freight yard silos for the Basel warehouse company.
Fortunately, the historic warehouse in the Erlenmatt of Basel was not demolished because of Habitat Foundation's intervention and now houses a restaurant, affordable working spaces, and a hostel with dormitories and private rooms.
