Architekt:innen
Zürich und Brugg

We are architects based in Zurich and Brugg/AG and our passion is for careful and sustainable renovations of existing buildings.

Whether it’s an extension or an addition to a detached house, the comprehensive renovation of a listed building or the energy upgrading of an apartment block: we regard the existing substance as a valuable resource.

We see architectural design as a critical and productive examination of the existing fabric – with passion and down to the last detail. We attach great importance to careful design, as well as competence in execution.
