About Atelier Peter Zumthor
Atelier Peter Zumthor is the small studio Swiss architect Peter Zumthor founded in Haldenstein, near Chur, in 1979, and still runs from this village in Graubünden. Its deliberately small size allows years to be devoted to each commission.
The studio focuses on buildings where place, light, sound and materials take centre stage, from chapels and thermal baths to museums and houses. Its architecture, often described as minimalist and sensory, aims to be experienced in person rather than in photographs.
For clients who value craftsmanship, spatial calm and a deep relationship with the Swiss Alpine landscape, this atelier is one of the country's most distinctive references, although its capacity to take on commissions is limited by its scale.
