APPROACH & PERFORMANCE
It all starts with a conversation
Our focus is on the client, the nature of the building task, and the location. Clarity and transparency are crucial to us. Our design follows a clear approach: we conduct thorough research, work holistically, propose sustainable solutions, think in complex contexts, and pay attention to every detail in the execution — while keeping the design creative and expressive. We create a synthesis of architecture and modern technical possibilities, with a focus on the model down to the smallest detail. The project is a continuous process — from the initial idea through design, construction, cost accounting, and final handover.
Building types & uses
More than 40 years of experience
Over the past four decades, we have realised more than 1,000 projects. Building for everyday life has been our focus from the beginning, starting with residential and commercial buildings, soon expanding to include schools and assembly halls, whether simple houses, high-rise buildings, or housing complexes. In addition to new construction, renovation has always played a key role. Our clients range from private individuals to companies, municipalities, government agencies and churches. We build in urban spaces as well as on mountain peaks, across the Alpine region from France to Vienna, with ventures overseas.
We offer complete architectural services – from early design to tendering and site supervision.
OLD & NEW
Renovation is the task of the future
About 30% of the existing building stock is worth preserving. Our development is rooted in this task and has organically expanded into various areas of new construction. Just as old and new do not exclude each other, competent planning and execution complement each other in both areas.
COORDINATION & INTEGRATION
Building with timber
Building with timber was originally called ‘adding staves’. This fundamental technique forms the basis for the principles of timber construction culture. Beams are larger in size than bricks; their compilation on the wall and roof requires coordination with each other and sophisticated linking – this calls for constructive discipline. Morphologically, flat, segmented surfaces dominate, often standing at right angles to one another. This is especially evident in modern panel construction, which no longer has a stave-like structure. The smaller the wooden components, such as shingles, the more flexible the form becomes.
