Christ & Gantenbein

Portuguese/English

For 25 years, Basel-based Christ & Gantenbein have developed architecture deeply rooted in local context while bridging historical heritage and contemporary needs. Revisit their angular new wing for the Swiss National Building, or the Lindt headquarters standing on Lake Zurich like a tall piece of white chocolate, and see how their design process, emphasizing physical models and drawings, reflects their commitment to craftsmanship and rigorous thinking. Recognition through international competitions confirms their universal approach to creating timeless solutions. The practice focuses on redefining urban identity through careful consideration of heritage, materiality, and the dialogue between past and present.
