Background

After graduating with Degrees in Architecture from ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne, I spent several years working in New York and Los Angeles. This time in the United States was a valuable experience, in that it impacted my thinking and design processes, allowing me to redirect ideas and concepts of Architecture imparted on me during my years at the University. Back in Switzerland, it is important to me to have these distilled effects influence my projects.

Working in the two cities, I was interested in how the quality of personal projects could assert themselves within critical analysis of the heterogeneous, dynamic and demanding environments, as well as against the diverse interests of all the parties involved. The character of projects reflects the context significantly, consisting of local conditions, programmatic requirements and the ideas of clients. I am meeting these various influences with a pragmatic approach. My projects are developed impartially, by overcoming constraints to make all those aspects manifest themselves in carefully realized Architecture. The results are unconventional solutions that might polarize but that should not leave one indifferent.
