What convinced you to join the hej.build Architecture Advisory Board?

Personal contacts with companies and firms in the construction industry are an important key to successful work. Shaping developments and visions together holds great potential for everyone involved. hej.build plays a central connecting role here. I find that valuable and want to actively support it.

What is most on your mind at the moment in architecture, interior architecture or building products?

Delivery times and reliable quality of building products.

What does good architecture/interior architecture mean to you?

Interior architecture that moves people and turns spaces into special places.

Is there a current highlight or an all-time favourite project?

All-In-Living Urban City Resorts with HANS-Y and JONN-Y. Our aim was to create places that offer far more than just a temporary home: spaces that combine modern living, working and relaxing at the highest level. The generous communal areas, from co-working spaces, bar and spa to the rooftop terrace with a pool and a view over Vienna, encourage exchange and quality of life. We are proud to have realised a concept that combines contemporary living comfort with the pulse of the city, for people who live mobile, demanding and forward-looking lives. It was especially lovely to meet a client who shared this vision and trusted us to realise it.
