Staab Architekten - Kindred Objects

de Staab Architekten, Florian Heilmeyer

Since founding their office in 1991, Staab Architekten have devoted themselves to a broad spectrum of construction projects that range from new buildings in sensitive urban spaces and landscapes to conversions and reinterpretations of landmarked buildings. The office's signature cannot be identified based on formal similarities but rather in the methodical approach behind the individual development of each project. Many points of reference points are determined by the complex parameters of each construction project from which the form, function, and materiality of the structures are developed. Based on overarching themes and a selection of projects, light is cast on Staab Architekten's approach from the perspective of the office itself as well as that of the architectural critic Florian Heilmeyer.
