The focus of our approach to architecture is on careful handling of existing structures and respect for occupants’ needs. These premises are crucial for our designs and determine how we tackle a building task. By means of intelligent, user-oriented planning and appropriate measures tailored to specific conditions, we aim to create qualities and synergies in the interest of all those involved and in the spirit of the ordering, structuring task of responsible architecture.

We are interested in an intensive co-operation with the building developers and in optimal implementation of individual needs in architecture. The aim is not only to fulfil the required space allocation plan but equally to perceive and transform personal wishes and ideas so as to ensure that a building – similar to a tailor-made suit – meets all demands as well as possible. In addition, by reacting to the existing topographical and structural setting, we take decisions that determine the organisation, dimensioning, material composition and feel of a building and thus supplement its formal and atmospheric appearance.

Starting from choosing the site, selecting the materials and the construction method, to the use of energy and resources, the use of the building, future maintenance expenses and suitability for recycling of the individual components – our decisions are always based on sustainable thinking, both in terms of economy and ecology.
