About Burkhalter Sumi Architekten
Burkhalter Sumi Architekten is the Zurich practice founded in 1984 by Marianne Burkhalter and Christian Sumi, now continuing with a joint studio and the Oxid Architektur platform. Its historic Zurich base is on Münstergasse in the old town.
The office is known for innovative timber construction and prefabrication, combining technical and formal research to give buildings a sensual, dense quality. Its work ranges from housing and hotels to theatres and commercial buildings.
For clients focused on timber, reuse of existing buildings and housing in Switzerland, Burkhalter Sumi remains a recognised name, although the current studio organisation should be confirmed before publication.
