Mathias Koester Architects
Fresh and Innovative Design and Architecture
We believe that the build environment has a direct influence on the quality of our lives and set out to create joyful spaces that are uplifting and inspiring to use. Light
We aim to create bright spaces flooded with natural light during the day and ambient environments with well-considered lighting at night time. The play o
f light and shadow is key to bring our architecture alive and the use of warm materials and vegetation often enhances the users’ experience and wellbeing. Legibility
Our design approach follows closely the concept of legibility, in which every element of the design is expressive of its function and as such contributes to the overall aesthetics of the building. The use of clear lines and reduced but carefully considered elements of design achieve buildings and interiors of great elegance, clarity and longevity. Sustainability
Sustainability and the analysis of the specific site conditions are at the heart of our design and often define the very concept of our buildings. as much as the optimisation of views, natural daylight and use of renewable energy resources available on site. Functionality
Our designs are based on a detailed understanding of the functions they must fulfil and we promote the idea of flexibility as a means to ensure that a building can adopt to changes in the original brief and function over time. Technology
We combine the use of up-to-date technology with traditional and cultural related building methods according to the specific project requirements and its location. Teamwork
We promote teamwork and find that the best designs evolve in close collaboration with our clients and the dedicated design team of architects, designers, engineers, cost consultants and the construction companies and builders.
