about me
I have been fascinated by making space since growing up on my parents’ farm in Kapfenstein.
The Ortweinschule gave me the technical craft, and building sites gave me a feel for what can actually be built. Studying architecture and philosophy in Vienna sharpened my view of architecture as a social instrument that should benefit everyone. In Aachen I got closer to earth building and reuse, in Shanghai to the city at its very largest scale.
On the side I work as a drafting office for master builders and architects, and wherever I go, a sketchbook comes along.
