profile
According to the office, a guideline for all projects is to develop the architectural design from the respective task and the conditions of the location in a distinctive, coherent and comprehensible manner. The design process should include the finding of appropriate design tools and the involvement of all those involved. This open process should lead to individual solutions that cannot be reduced to a “ style ”. Since the 2000s, the field of activity has expanded to include projects abroad, including a. China, France, Luxembourg. The activity essentially comprises the areas of administration and culture, education and research, hotels and residential complexes, sports and transport structures as well as urban planning concepts and master plans.
The common denominator of the projects should be "openness and catchiness for the senses and intellect". The office understands its work “as a social and cultural service on a high artistic, functional and technological level, whose architectural quality and sustainability must be measured primarily by how open and versatile it is for the diverse forms of life that she wants to create a place.
