SML Architektur 喜慕建筑

An architectural and interior design firm based in Zurich in Switzerland. We represent a new generation of architects with a multicultural background spanning from East to West. SML Architektur relies on a blend of far eastern mentality and concepts from China, Japan and Korea with Swiss appreciation for precision in execution. By combining architectural education, academic research, design practice, and intercultural exchange, we are able to transfer the knowledge from theory to innovative solutions for each project from concept through to completion.

SML Architektur ist ein junges Architekturbüro mit Sitz in Zürich. Wir sind eine neue Generation multikultureller Architektinnen, die Entwurfsprinzipen des Ostens mit denen des Westens verbinden. In unserem Schaffen kombinieren wir ostasiatische Raumkonzepte aus China, Japan und Korea mit Schweizer Präzision in der Ausführung. Unsere Stärke ist der interkulturelle Austausch mit unseren Kunden, Partnern und Handwerkern. Neben unserer Tätigkeit in unserem Architekturbüro, forschen und lehren wir. Das Wissen aus der Theorie setzen wir in innovative Lösungen vom Konzept bis zur Fertigstellung um.
