Office Profile
EM2N | MATHIAS MÜLLER | DANIEL NIGGLI ARCHITEKTEN AG | ETH | SIA | BSA

We aim to produce architecture that is powerful and personal, architecture with the capability of developing its own character. As a result our projects may polarize the public, which is fine with us. One may love or hate our architecture, but one should never be left indifferent.

We are convinced that there never is just one solution. Our projects must cope with the unforeseen, even the accidental. Therefore, we tend to think in scenarios, we work with hypotheses and generate oppositional alternatives. Each one of these projections into the future originates from different assumptions and has its own history or story to tell.

If we manage to develop projects that can stand for themselves in the urban fabric, we have achieved our goal.
