Philosophy

We provide a wide range of architectural services, no matter the size, location or budget.

We focus on aesthetic and sensual, but also functional, economic and ecologic approaches.

We develop innovative and exceptional buildings, thanks to our passion for architecture and design, an efficient office structure and an interdisciplinary network.

Our capability of carrying out projects according to highest standards has resulted in the first prizes in international competitions for a mountain lodge in Sierra Nevada Mountains, CA, USA (2003, 460 entries), for the New Art Museum in Lausanne (2005, 250 entries), and the office centre "Kaiserhof" in Malters (2008).
