We meet each brief with curiosity, pairing it with decades of experience in planning and construction. We look past the project brief and probe the underlying forces and possibilities that shape the project. These insights merge with the autonomous elements of architecture, yielding a clear, purposeful design response. Our focus remains on distilling the essence, and we pursue it through deliberate use of form, material, and atmosphere down to the finest detail.
Collaboration fuels our process. Team discussions, the interconnectivity of knowledge within the office, and close cooperation with all stakeholders create an integrated understanding of every project.
We consider ourselves generalists who guide a project from conception to completion, ensuring that every phase aligns with our high standards of quality.

Architecture, for us, is never a purely technical exercise. It is, at its core, a reflection of who we are. Our houses articulate our grasp of societal questions, the aspirations and lived realities of clients and users, and the site’s cultural, historical, and spatial context. More than that, houses are a cultural medium with a long tradition, and within that framework we position ourselves on the core architectural questions that shape spatial expression and structural performance.

We’ve spread the responsibility for running the office across more hands over the past few years. Since 2025, eight senior staff members, alongside our partners, jointly steer the firm’s leadership. Since 2020, we have also introduced several mechanisms to shape the office’s direction collectively. Leadership teams foster the development of individual departments; a employee forum sparks discussions on current issues, which are then expanded by working groups. Beyond the office, we actively participate in cross‑disciplinary research and exchange formats—such as the Innovation Network AI‑Builing Planning, the BIM Alliance, and the Laboratory & Museum Roundtable—shaping the next‑generation frameworks and tools that architects will use.
