Three young architects from Bern (…) develop their concepts with great enthusiasm and a pinch of humor.“ (Umbauen + Renovieren, 4/2009) „Freiluft’s working methods want to be without mindcuffs but with relish: There are handicrafts (…), sketches, photorealistic renderings, the collage, yes, even the poem…“ (Werk, Bauen + Wohnen, 12/2011) „They care about dialogue between humans, but also between disciplines.“ (Umbauen + Renovieren, 4/2009) Office Freiluft was founded in 2007 by Alexander Grünig, Martin Klopfenstein and Matthias Zuckschwerdt.
