The 4th Wall, Seekopf
The town of Rossatz-Arnsdorf in Lower Austria made the decision to replace an old look-out tower on Seekopf mountain, which is located on a popular hiking route, with a new structure that would preserve the old tower’s panoramic view from the densely forested mountain towards the Danube. The aim of the project was not only to meet the functional criteria, but also to create an additional experiential value for

Beaver Center (Nature Conservation Center Sotla)
Beaver Center is intended for observation and presentation of nature along Sotla river, in terms of education, scientific research, and tourism. It is located next to SLO-CRO border, along dried-out Vonarsko or Sotelsko lake, which became a unique nature reserve.

House K: on the back of the mountain
In the far north of the Bregenzerwald lies the small community of Sulzberg on the ridge of the mountain. We built a house on a steep slope in the middle of a densely built-up residential area, which makes perfect use of the limited plot of land. Due to the extreme slope, we have divided the spaces into three floors. You enter the house on the street side on the
Edifice Cabin, New York
The edifice, is a modest 500 square foot cedar cabin located in Fremont, New York. Approximately two hours northwest of New York City nestled in the woods of the western Catskills mountains.

The wall clock is therefore not only an aesthetically pleasing design object but a daily and gently reminder that time
TRAX collection
The seating and table collection "TRAX" is aiming to bring together functionality with compact, solid and soft forms. Stacking is a major feature while the rounded edges are conveying a cosy and pleasant design. A major achievement of this new collection is the swinging chair - a cantilever out of solid wood. Contrary to the Bauhaus classics these cantilevers are not made with a tube steel base, the base
Trivi chair
A simple chair that combines wood and metal? It is our pleasure to introduce TRIVI, created thanks to our cooperation with the Czech designer Martin Foret. The TRIVI chair combines supreme subtlety of design, comfort and reliability. Its appearances are a bit deceptive.
