Philosophy The harmonious and natural handling of existing structures is very close to my heart. Be it a conversion of a building or an extension of a village structure as an addition or new building. A careful integration of the project into the existing environment, as well as the reference and continuation of the history into the present time is very important to me.

The demand for living and working space is in constant development and should adapt to the needs of the users. In dialogue with the client, an individually tailored solution is developed together. A use-oriented solution in harmony with technology and construction is sought. The use of natural building materials is a matter of concern to me, as they contribute significantly to comfort and well-being. If possible, I work with regional materials and methods whereby the sustainability and thus the economy of the building substance is fulfilled.

In the foreground is a material-fair and economical building in harmonious connection of high building quality, aesthetics and well-being.

Competence I offer everything from conceptual design to the entire construction organization, construction management and construction completion from a single source. A careful sense of form and color, the mastery of proven and sustainable building constructions as well as the integration of building biology and building ecology is very important to me. The development of an optimal and individually tailored solution for the user, also in terms of economic efficiency is in the foreground. With passion, inspiration, motivation and joy I like to face every new challenge.
