0815 Architekten (Biel/Bienne)

Name = Program "0815 (zero-eight-fifteen) is certainly not going to be the name of any architecture firm, and no one can remember Haymoz Thalmann Schmid anyway." What was intended as a provocation and orientation aid when the office was founded became program. Over time, the many explanations of the meaning of "0815" have sharpened our focus on the essentials. We understand 0815 as a distinction and value orientation.

0815 Nevertheless_ It is the small things that occupy us in everyday life and surprise us again and again. The unusual in the ordinary and the intention to turn unpretentious specifications and programs into individual solutions. We are driven by the experiment - and the associated risk - to see whether what is conceived really delivers what it promises.

In the meantime, the tasks have expanded from designing a house to redesigning a train. This broad spectrum of topics always requires a neutral and unbiased approach. What do we actually do? We see this question as a working method to which the project is subordinated and which leads to solutions beyond the ordinary.
