The Wellis site at the northern entrance to Willisau was used for furniture production for decades. Together with the adjoining properties to the south, it is to be gradually transformed into a lively residential and commercial quarter. Its structures are based on the characteristics of the small town, which is characterized by its picturesque old town, industrial and commercial areas and its location in the green hills of the Napf region. The scale of the row-shaped buildings on the Wellis site resembles the building structure found in the old town of Willisau. The courtyards, which are open on one side, interlock with the adjacent green spaces to the east.
