Lüscher Architekten AG (Zürich)

A conversation is the starting point for our project development. We bring specific skills and pay attention to space, structure, volume, material, proportions, incidence of light and movement through a building. We do not overlook the technical aspects and are committed to sustainability, ecology and economy. We develop our buildings as if we were telling stories. They take place at a certain time in a certain place and revolve around the main character: the client and their wishes. Their wishes and budget determine the scope of the story.

First, we get to grips with what the prospective client wants. We determine what they envision and examine the future partnership. The basis for a successful job lies in mutual trust and commitment to achieve a common goal. Together we go out of the site or the building to discover its peculiarities and the possibilities that the site offers for a future life. We enter into an exchange with the relevant authorities to determine the legal framework.

The first proposals visualize the development as a story and in it we find the central narrative together with our partners. We define the plot together with a team of professionals and craftsmen. We want each of them to be inspired by the story. The building ultimately emerges from this scenario thanks to the commitment of everyone involved.

It becomes a success story when the story is brought forward through mutual appreciation, when it leads to new meetings and projects together. We are happy that many of our stories have had sequels.
