About us

As engineers and architects, we are committed to resource-efficient structural engineering. Our focus is to create integral solutions that seamlessly unite architecture, climate, natural resources, and the existing structural fabric, while also considering society and the environment.

Our holistic approach places the needs of the people who use our built environment—as well as those of our partners and team—at the center of everything we do. We measure success not only by financial results but also by our long-term impact on society and nature. Our aim is to create true added value through ecologically, financially, and socially sustainable solutions. We are convinced that lightweight construction is essential to this transformation. Our priority is to minimize resource consumption, optimize shape and material allocation, and incorporate circular and regenerative materials in hybrid structures—always using the right material in the right place. For us, lightweight construction means integral, interdisciplinary thinking: when material, structure, and system are optimally matched, the result is efficient, lightweight, and requires close collaboration. This mindset lies at the heart of our work and is integrated into all our construction projects and processes.

Digital tools significantly enhance the planning and manufacturing of building structures. These technologies allow us to create complex geometries while using materials efficiently. Networked planning environments foster interdisciplinary collaboration and enable the development of innovative, sustainable solutions. Simulation methods—including flow and urban climate simulations—provide crucial insights into the impacts of planning decisions on the urban microclimate, helping us quantify their effects and integrate climate resilience into the design process. Data-driven approaches and artificial intelligence allow in-depth analysis of large datasets to optimize façades and building structures, resulting in efficient, environmentally friendly building concepts. By embracing the entire digital process chain—from conceptual design through simulation to automated fabrication—we help reduce costs and improve quality. We are dedicated to fostering an experimental and research-driven mindset. We constantly seek new solutions and boldly explore new ground. We collaborate closely with national and international research programs and numerous cooperative partnerships to incorporate and advance the latest research in our planning processes.

Within our evolutionary, employee-focused company structure, we adapt swiftly and flexibly to new needs and challenges while continuously growing and advancing. As a decentralized company with flat hierarchies, we place our trust in self-reliance, creativity, and our technical and collective intelligence. All employees share in our collective success through the employee partnership. We make decisions as a team and regard diversity as an essential factor for innovative work practices. The diverse interests, working methods, and perspectives of our team enrich our projects, allowing us to explore a variety of approaches and solutions. We prioritize a shared sense of purpose to guide our organization, listen attentively, and welcome new ideas with sensitivity and openness. By encouraging ideas and innovations, we continually expand our skills, knowledge, and resources. A collaborative culture and open innovation are essential to building a culture of openness and exchange. The tasks we take on, the way we approach them, and the way we organize and collaborate allow us to move beyond the traditional boundaries of a conventional structural engineering office. We are constantly evolving through an ongoing process. It is crucial that we embrace challenges and stay focused on creating a sustainable, livable future for everyone. To achieve this, we must work together with a sense of agency—engaging our minds, hearts, courage, and reason.
