Philosophy

"Architecture based on three principles: Firmitas (firmness, stability), Utilitas (practicality, usefulness) and Venustas (grace, beauty)".

Vitruvius (Marcus Vitruvius Pollio), Roman Master Builder

Ca. 30 B.C. In: "The Architecture Libri Decem" -Ten books on architecture.

Vitruvius' three principles leave us as timeless and inevitably inspiring aspects of any architecture. We wish you that we can help you. so can be meant e.g. stability with likewise economy, dies in BEZUG zur Nachhaltigkeit Nützlichkeit considered or one under grace thought out, understood became plausible draft concept.

Reveals one of the three aspects, is no longer architecture.

We think, as die arts most public of all architecture is still die called to it and obliged to synthesize this to three aspects in the design. Only then has the architecture been built beyond the building.

With this in mind, our ultimate focus is to reflect the needs of all project participants, both the clients and the architects, while always remaining time, cost and quality conscious.

We do not aim at creating a preservation and an office style, but an open and an attitude towards the curious of every building project with the ambition to FIND individual, different, innovative solutions and contemporary solutions.
