Lukas Lenherr Architektur

Swiss based architects Lukas Lenherr Architektur explores space through sustainable social and ecological considerations. Rooted in tailor-made interactions between craft and research, it positions itself on the basic idea of ​​the post-growth economy. Reuse, sufficiency / renunciation, dismantling, local positioning, DIY-productions and climate-friendly implementations are central.

The works show an all encompassing sustainable manner: they are low-tech, work directly with nature and its materials, easy to maintain, naturally aging, and they are guided by a philosophy of conscious renunciation. Overall they promote communities and cohesion.

These unconventional works encourage more diversity, respect for nature and social interactions. In times of globalisation and unification they offer resistance by anchoring identities. They convey memories and pass on the stories from the places. From this architecture, which is uncompromising and deeply rooted in architectural history, small ecosystems of new communities, small decentralised islands and experiments grow.
