Profil
Solararchitekt - Advanced building design for city and countryside.
Solararchitekt represents a forward-thinking architecture that developes or regenerates urban and suburban space. Hereby, new building successfully interlinks with its environment, the built and the natural. For us advancement means that a building has been developed on the basis of a solid concept, which is grounded in acknowledgement and respect to craftmanship, the history of building and the demands of the future. The focus of the design process is what the client requires and desires, the future users´ needs and society in general. Solararchitekt has been founded by the architect Kersten Schmitz, who has many years of practical experience in all stages of building design.
