Atmospherically and functionally designed living space, fitted into the context, as the basis of quality of life - we are dedicated to this goal. We do this with commitment from the first sketch to the move-in for conversion and new construction projects. In close cooperation with our private clients, we find the adequate solutions for their specific living situations, wishes and emotions. New building Based on the urban context, we develop exterior and interior spaces that convey openness to the surroundings, but also a sense of security within. The surroundings, the sunlight and the views play a decisive role in the arrangement and orientation of the buildings. In the process, the outdoor space with garden and seating area becomes an extended living space in the summer. The interior spaces live from and with this quality of the outdoor space. With the arrangement and size of the windows, the exterior can be experienced on the inside. Conversion / Renovation Whether the task is small or large, it is always important to us to harmonize the demands and financial means of the client with the possibilities of the object and the requirements of the environment and the law and to create a new whole. It is crucial to understand the existing building. With a renovation or an extension, it should remain in its essence and, by means of renewal, achieve a new presence and radiance. Interior design The proportions of the rooms and the lighting are the basic elements of the interior design. The surfaces and the design of the finishing complement and enhance the spatial effect and are treated with appropriate care. The inner qualities are related to the envelope. Furniture or custom-made interior design intensifies the expression of the space and integrates it into the overall concept.
