PROFIL
I believe that beauty, functionality, and sustainability can co-exist in the structures where we live, work, socialize and play. This foundational mindset informs my design vision for every project -- from large-scale buildings in urban environments to accessible play structures in small communities. The pleasure of creating spaces that fulfill these imperatives inspires me daily.
My path to entrepreneurship began at the Ecole d´Architecture de Versailles in France and the Technical University of Vienna. After that I spent several years working with and learning from leading architects at firms in Germany and France, including the Renzo Piano Building Workshop in Paris.
Today, I enjoy working independently or collaborating with colleague architects and planners, applying my unique expertise to interpret and fulfill the vision of private and public-sector clients. My project scope is diverse. From new construction to renovations, my work is guided always by thoughtful consideration of clients’ aesthetic, functional and economic priorities, and careful attention to the smallest details.
My special interest area is sustainability. This goes well beyond lasting design configurations, smart building materials, and energy-efficiency technologies. It extends to functional flexibility and harmonious integration. That’s why I am passionate about re-imagining spaces to utilize their fullest 24/7 potential. Not only to address urgent climate considerations, but also to create responsible structures that become vibrant contributors to thriving communities. That is the hallmark of sustainable architecture.
