Curiosity

We approach every project with curiosity and combine this with 30 years of planning and building experience. Our focus lies on the essence, which we pursue in detail through the conceptual use of form, material, and atmosphere. We create new things in building typology, sustainability, construction, technologies, building materials and actively develop digital methods such as parametric and computational design and BIM.
