Schwarzenbacher Struber Architekten

Studio

Schwarzenbacher Struber Architekten is an architecture office based in Salzburg, Austria, originally founded by Wolfgang Schwarzenbacher in 1993. From the very start the studio has worked on projects in the public sector, with a special focus on sustainable building. Several projects have won awards for timber architecture and sustainability.

Their design philosophy aims to fulfil the needs of each individual project, focusing on adapting the architecture to its given surroundings, letting function determine form, and choosing authentic materials that enable buildings to age timelessly. Architecture should not only meet spacial requirements, but go beyond what is asked and offer additional value to its users. This way of designing spaces provides benefits for cities and its people.

Designing and supervising a wide range of projects – from family houses, refurbishments, to large-scale urban developments – continually challenges the team and keeps everyone open-minded. Each project is discussed with the whole team, which opens up new perspectives and creative angles, brings clarity and adds value to every aspect of the project.

Wolfgang Schwarzenbacher
studied architecture at the Technical University in Graz, spent one semester as visiting student in Mexico City, and graduated in 1985. After several years working in architectural studios and the town planning office in Salzburg he founded his own studio in 1993.
Having won several architectural competitions in various fields, he established the company Schwarzenbacher Architektur ZT GmbH in 2007.

Christian Struber

Stefan Höll

He has been a shareholder since 2018, and became managing partner in 2020, representing the “next generation” in a successful, creative team.
