Koch Architekten

Our commitment as architects is not only to be the trustees of our clients but also to share in responsibility for the design of our architectural environment. We are motivated and driven by enthusiasm for creative and execution planning and the construction process. Our on-going search for innovative solutions is underlined by a high regard for proven existing contexts. Based on our understanding of history as a process, we seek synthesis between tradition and modernity in our approach to historic structures. We regard building as the discovery of the genius loci, making the very best of a sites potential while linking it to the immediate architectural objective. We strive to match perfectly tailored architecture to its site in a form that bears its own meaning. We look for the harmony of opposites. Our parameters are function and design, ecology and economy, daylight and orientation, technology and haptics, emotion and ratio, and the maintenance of a human scale in the process.
