Our Values and Guiding Principles

Personal: Architecture is a matter of trust.
At the center of our work is the personal contact with the customer, the employee and the executing contractor. With our architectural foresight we accompany the customer on his way to a tailor-made building project optimized according to his wishes. We know that conflicts and difficulties also arise when people work together. We understand conflicts as a chance for professional or personal experiences and development steps. In doing so, we always keep an eye on goals and tasks.

Creative: Creativity is not an end in itself in our work.
Creativity is our tool to create exceptional architecture with an emotional added value, which is credible and distinctive, which puts the inhabitant and his needs in the center. We love and demand creative challenges and require perfection down to the last detail. Our creativity always serves the client and his project.

Quality: Quality comes before quantity.
The quality of content and form is the basis of all our work and the prerequisite for successful architecture. We offer our customers a quality standard of the highest level, which is oriented to the growing market requirements through continuous improvement. We also apply these quality goals to our employees and executing contractors and include them in the continuous improvement process. We do not copy, but learn from those who are even better than us.

Competent: We specialize in challenging architectural projects.
We have the appropriate people, processes, tools and know-how to solve complex problems throughout the process. In doing so, we equip our employees with the necessary competencies and skills. We set ourselves ambitious goals in order to exceed our own expectations time and again. We do not let up when difficulties arise, but always find a suitable, convincing solution.

Experienced: We try to identify needs of our customers.
We meet these needs with all our years of experience and with appropriate products and services. We recognize them even before they are explicitly expressed by the customer. We see the skills, experience, know-how, commitment and social competence of our employees as the essential parameters for the realization of exceptional architecture.

Transparent: We work together in an open, trusting and transparent manner. Our cooperation is always at the service of our offers and is a performance shared by all. We define and monitor the individual processes. We create transparency in temporal processes, factual interrelationships through clear presentation and mutual information, while recording and evaluating the cost structure.

**We are powerful but with common sense. Maintaining our competitiveness in the long term and increasing our performance power ensures us a leading and secure position in the competition. In our actions we are determined, efficient, creative and at the same time thoughtful-pragmatic. We keep an eye on our environment and analyze changes and the resulting opportunities and possibilities in detail. We make optimal and energy-saving use of all available resources.
