SketchPoint 17 – Lokremise

A multidisciplinary cultural center featuring theater, dance, cinema, art, and a restaurant

It is the largest surviving circular locomotive depot in Switzerland, complete with a water tower and bathhouse. The listed circular building, dating from 1903, was renovated in 2010 and divided into three independent cubes using the “house-within-a-house” principle. With its open architecture, the spacious interior brings the building’s early-industrial character to life. Here you’ll find plenty of exciting subjects to sketch, both outside in the courtyard and in the spacious public interior.
