We envision an architecture that engages in dialogue with its surroundings while challenging its status quo—radical in its ideas and ecological in its principles.
We are an European team of architects and designers.
Grown up amidst forests and lakes, we developed a deep connection to nature and landscape—values that continue to shape our work today.
We envision an architecture that engages in dialogue with its surroundings while challenging its status quo—radical in its ideas and ecological in its principles. Not an architecture that blends into the built environment but rather refers to the natural context.
As an oxymoron, we embrace and live through contrasts, creating positive emotions and unexpected solutions by mediating between landscape and cities, wilderness and user’s experience, technology and tradition, simplicity and creativity.
We believe in working with raw materials, enhancing their characters. We design buildings, landscapes, interiors, installations and furniture through research and practice.
At every scale, in every context, what we do reflects our philosophy:
Architecture for the Landscape.
