Atelierhouse
The zenithal light from the north floods the central space. To bring light into a work space, an opening was made in the roof. A generous pergola to the south extends the interior space to the outside. A roof overhang creates a semi-outdoor space that is shaded and protected from the rain. On the front part, the structure allows climbing plants to grow. The house takes advantage from its relationship with the ground. As the house is at ground level, the space is directly accessible by car. In addition, the choice of the ground gives to the space a public character. The suspended balcony and the partition wall generate private niches in the large main space. The building redefines and questions the norms between working and living. The house is conceived so that one can live and work in the same place. There is no clear separation between living and working spaces. By changing the programme of a 1990‘s single-family housing area, the Atelier House aims to reactivate the neighborhood by generating new relationships. The structure, walls, roof, façade and window frames are made of wood. The window frames and the roof are covered with a thin metal skin to protect them and increase their life cycle. Throughout the project, priority was given to regional materials and production.

Thurgau
The tactile aspect of architecture generates a communication between the user and the building in the form of a narrative. The corridors are suddenly a story that links the different rooms together. The different elements are connected, a story line that resonates with the history of the place, the traditions and the wishes of the inhabitants. Each part has its place like a machine. The natural light guides the visitor. It invites him to enter the exhibition space. The new door handles made of chrome steel subtly point the visitor to the further path through the museum.

Textilmuseum
The revered museum building by Gustav Gull is 'clothed' in a new, noble costume with the addition of an attic. The entire building is understood as a unity – the existing building and the extension are rendered in a monochrome blue. The loggia of the roof allows a view from the street up into the interior, similar to the lapel of a suit. A public loggia high above the street, with a view over the roofs of St. Gallen. The roof covers the glazed front, in the form of a colonnade, like a cloth. Under this roof is both the museum café and space for workshops or lectures. Several entrances lead from the blue loggia into a large exhibition hall. A simple box, the hall extends over the entire length of the building and its size complements a range of exhibition spaces. The height of the room and the fact that it is accessible via several entrances allow it to be used in a variety of ways.

Burgfeldstrasse
The existing structure with its serial character of columns and slabs has been preserved. Behind it is the huge Hafenbacken 1, mainly built of bricks and concrete, but with steel elements for technical aspects such as the gallery access. Our building, which has a unique character because it belongs to the industrial area, will now be part of the residential quarter on the other side of the river. It is, so to speak, part of both worlds and our proposal aims to reflect this dynamic.

Isengrind
A garden is the heart of the institution, acting first as an exterior entrance hall and then as the backdrop as students move around it from room to room on a raised, covered walkway throughout the day. The filigrane wooden structure stands out from and complements the neighboring massive residential complexes, becoming a special „house for learning“ in the midst of a lush garden. This can be read as a reinterpretation of the typological contrast a school building has had throughout history: in previous times, for example, in some areas of Switzerland a traditional school house might have been constructed of stone, on the top of a ridge or hill, while surrounded by lower wooden residential buildings.

Münchwilen
With the simple gesture of extending a roof and sunshades a substantial distance past the facade of the multi-purpose hall, a meaningful space is generated which allows for interaction with the park and sports fields. An existing barn, recommended by the program to be destroyed, is re-used for storage and warm-weather activities, and forms a gate with another new building containing after-school and communal facilities. Both are linked with a trellis of plants which becomes a pergola over the path towards the nearby river. Taken individually the three buildings appear banal, but through the serial repetition of columns at their facades (actually tension members in the case of the large hall building), the ensemble recalls a classic forum – a generous offer for the public.

Bernex
Bernex, a village at the outer-edge of Geneva, requested a campus on a site bound by a highway access ramp which excluded the possibility of building near it, thereby limiting the usable area, and as well created significant noise pollution. On the other side of the ramp an urban agricultural park is currently being planned. We proposed to turn the disadvantage into a quality by placing a continuous cap over the ramp, and then constructing, out of timber, the main classroom building overhead. Columns and minimal cores on the ground floor allow porosity – connecting the campus with the adjacent, agricultural field. The campus in turn becomes a generous park in itself, with small pavilions containing facilities shared with the public – sports halls, a cafeteria, a library and a performing arts hall. A vision; a huge intervention – seemingly brutal, yet due to its existence, offers to society a serene, collective space.

Salzweg
At the edge of the city, at the edge of the site; a large area is left open to offer a semi-public park. The meandering bar clearly marks the border between the urban fabric and the agricultural fields before a forest, and is so articulated as to offer generous spatial qualities to residents. The garden is composed of medium to large trees with high, floating crowns, and terraced ground to provide flat areas for a variety of uses.

Window 1/3
The border suddenly becomes ambiguous, the outline of space opens up The outside suddenly becomes the inside, the inside becomes the outside. Everything is the same - but everything is still different Perhaps only through movement the space appears different. The light pierces the different layers The view is amazingly questioned, movement and field of vision. That evening I insulted the beauty That evening I invented the color of music. Three times, thirty-three minutes, only one evening Three evenings, only thirty-three minutes.
