Kim Strebel

Philipp Kim and Thomas Strebel founded their architectural practice in Aarau in 2006. Initial competition successes were followed by the construction of numerous public and private buildings. All their projects arise from a precise examination of the brief, the site and the intended use. Functional requirements and specific constraints are translated into clear architectural concepts. This is exemplified by the new extension to the Lärchenplatz campus of the Swiss Federal Institute of Sport Magglingen. The site’s qualities and the complex requirements for sports science led to a building that is experienced in a highly sensorial way. Text English and German.
