Their office, which today has around 40 employees, focuses on adaptable structures that should give people space and freedom.

Lateral thinking largely determines the way they work, while empathy and curiosity guide us through the design process. With the highest possible efficiency, they create emotional and simple solutions that create additional added value for the users. The belief in longevity and long-term changes also plays a central role in their designs.

They believe that flexible usage scenarios create sustainable projects. It is particularly important to them that their projects, competitions and buildings of various sizes in a national and international context show authenticity, charisma and a strong identity.
