profile

leit-werk, founded in 1999, offers a new form of design practice in which architects, designers and urban planners work together in a transdisciplinary organisation.

Our conceptual, process-orientated approach and constant exploration of the relationship between spatial, economic, cultural and social parameters lead to innovative schemes, which go beyond the general field of architecture and design. leit-werk's projects range from urban and architectural planning to interior and surface design within public as well as private areas.

The practice is an integral part of an established network of consultants and experts from related fields, often operating within larger consortia and functioning as a think tank for various organisations.
