RAUMTAKT - 10 years of innovation in sustainability and design
Zurich-based architecture firm Raumtakt is celebrating its tenth anniversary. Founder and Managing Director Stefan Müller looks back on a decade of numerous projects. Raumtakt's successful existence is primarily due to its constant change. Founder and Managing Director Stefan Müller not only specializes in residential and office conversions, but is also a visionary architect who already had future topics such as the circular economy and blockchain technology on his radar when he founded the company.
Sufficient design
Sufficiency as a planning strategy in interior design - truly lived environmental protection. The Zurich office Raumtakt has been operating between the disciplines of architecture and interior design for ten years. The focus here is on sustainably realized conversions, especially in the reinterpretation of existing structures. "We believe in the future of ecologically constructed, low-maintenance buildings that are inexpensive to manage," explains Stefan Müller, Managing Director and owner of Raumtakt. One of the office's outstanding projects is the redesign of the headquarters of South Pole, a company that develops and implements holistic strategies to reduce emissions.
Circular construction - South Pole's new head office at SVIT Switzerland Immobilia

Despite recent criticism, this conversion underlines the company's commitment to sustainable construction and innovation.
What exactly does reuse in construction mean?
Components must be reused for a functioning circular economy. In practice, this requires above all good categorization. When we look at buildings and structures from earlier centuries, we sometimes wonder why they are still so well preserved. Would the same be possible with today's buildings? Hardly. The shelf life of buildings is getting shorter and shorter for various reasons, including aesthetic and functional ones.
