Born on 15 September 1966 in Lucerne, where he still spends most of his time. After an apprenticeship in building construction, various design activities, and construction planning and management, he studied architecture at the University of Applied Sciences in Lucerne, in addition to design at ETH Zurich University, considering these experiences as forming the foundation of his work. In 1995 he realised his dream by setting up his architectural firm. His favourite clients are selective builders who let him implement highly creative ideas. His strengths include personal commitment to clients and projects, a flair for bespoke solutions, and extensive experience in managing technology as a designer and concept planner.
