We are pleased to reveal a first glimpse of our recently completed operations centre for EKT in Sulgen. The building is currently being documented by photographer Till Forrer.
The new timber structure forms a clear and identity-shaping hub, combining a compact, flexible layout with a strong public presence. Built with a consistent focus on sustainability and MINERGIE-A standards, it unites resource-efficient construction with warm, material-driven work environments.

In the Rhine Valley near St. Gallen, Zurich studio kit builds Tower House from prefabricated spruce panels assembled in three days, its gabled form rereading the rural dwelling on a constrained triangular plot.
The Rhine Valley near St. Gallen is residential, agricultural and somewhat compressed. Plots are small, neighbours are close, village centres sit at irregular distances. It is not a landscape that tolerates overt formal ambition easily. Tower House by Zurich studio kit belongs here not because it is modest but because it is precise: narrow, gabled, clearly derived from the rural dwelling archetype and executed in a single material system. The prefabricated spruce panels, walls, floors, ceilings, were manufactured off-site and assembled in three days. Three days for the complete shell of a three-storey family home is not a construction shortcut; it is a different understanding of what building can be.

We’re proud to present the completion of the new workshop and office building for EKT in the canton of Thurgau. Designed with a strong focus on material honesty, the entire structure is built in timber, creating a warm and efficient working environment.
Inside, clay board walls contribute to a natural indoor climate, combining ecological performance with a refined, tactile aesthetic.

We’re pleased to share that our proposal for the Open Project Competition Day Care & Kindergarten Halden, St. Gallen has been awarded a 4th prize (Ankauf).
Our design explores a calm, timber-based architecture that integrates seamlessly into its natural surroundings, creating a warm and adaptable environment for children to learn, play, and grow. Generous openings, layered façades, and sheltered outdoor spaces aim to foster a strong connection between inside and outside.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their dedication, creativity, and commitment throughout the process.

We’re delighted to share our contribution to the open competition for GEWONA NORD-WEST in Pratteln.
Our proposal envisions a green, community-focused living environment that brings residents together through shared gardens, generous balconies and carefully framed outdoor spaces. The design fosters neighbourly exchange while offering calm, light-filled homes embedded in nature.
