Miller & Maranta

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miller & Maranta is a Swiss architecture firm based in Basel. It was founded by the architects Quintus Miller (* 1961, Aarau) and Paola Maranta (* 1959, Chur). During their architecture studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, in the design studio of Fabio Reinhart and Miroslav Šik, they came into contact with the analogue architecture influenced by Aldo Rossi . After various joint projects from 1989 onwards, the current office was founded in 1990. The works that have been built, such as the Voltaschulhaus Basel, the Färberplatz market hall in Aarau, the Schwarzpark residential building in Basel, the restoration and expansion of the Villa Garbald in Castasegna or the old hospice on the Gotthard Pass have been widely published and awarded. Jean-Luc von Aarburg has been a partner in the office since 2013.
