Philosophy
The cappa+stauber architect network is always looking for new spatial solutions for contemporary life and the urban landscape that work in synchronicity with their surroundings and functional needs. They believe that architectural practice is based both on the vision of free minded spirits and on the respect for rules, boundaries and cultural surroundings. The result is high quality architecture derived from the continuity of the design process and an intensive dialogue with the client, consultants and final users.
Working closely together ensures the best outcome through a synthesis of concept, beauty and functional integration. The firm has managed to remain small and will continue to do so in order to maintain a direct, hands-on approach and to ensure the uniqueness of each project.
