“Estremamente preciso e competente ha trasformato la nostra vecchia abitazione in un appartamento elegante, moderno e di grande personalità. L’Arch. Maglione si è preso cura di ogni aspetto dalla progettazione alla direzione lavori e ci ha assistito e guidato in ogni scelta tenendo sempre conto sia dell’estetica che della praticità. Ha immediatamente compreso le nostre esigenze e il nostro gusto personale e ha studiato per noi le soluzioni migliori. Consiglio vivamente di affidarvi alla sua professionalità!”

“Liz Forest (EMF Management) was recommended by a colleague when we were looking for someone to project manage the renovation of our new home. At that time, her rate was the most competitive so in addition to the colleague’s recommendation, we decided to hire her. The thing we appreciated most about Liz was she spent our money carefully like it was her own. At times, she even negotiated with contractors harder than we would have done to get us the best rates. She was careful and correct in her charges, even generous in her calculations (of time worked) to benefit us. She asks for quotes from several contractors and then gives her advice to us which she thinks is best. I have no “bad” moments, we were always meeting the timeline we have set. Liz put up a chart in the house and was able to stay close to the timeline at most times. This also served as a reminder to the workers about the schedule. Liz speaks French very well. She communicated with the vendors well. She is kind to them and tough if she has to be. She is almost always at the site. If she cannot be there, she makes sure that they are there and always inspecting and checking what is being done/has been done. She pays attention to details and even gives special attention to those details that we have indicated as important to us. Once she had to communicate discouraging information to us, it was about getting some tax break because we chose 3 pane windows. We initially thought that it was possible but when Liz did the research it turned out that we could not do it. Liz even offered to do the paperwork for us if it had been possible. This situation was not within Liz’s control. It is clear Liz likes to do this type of work so her motivation is double because it comes from within. Our family saved so much time and energy (and I would even dare say money!) by having Liz help us with the works in the house. If you decide to hire her, I am sure you will be very content with how she will do her work. I highly recommend Liz and would work with her again.”

“I know plenty of projects made by Bertrand Lefebvre. He has modern architectural view and good understending of things client needs. He is totally professional and he likes to work hard and fast. Also he has great sense of humour, so everybody is in a good spirits while working with him.”

“Die gesamte Planung verlief sehr professionell und speditiv. Die Pläne wurden vom Architekten nach unseren Wünschen und Vorgaben entworfen. Da wir ein Holzhaus wollten, entschieden wir uns für die Ausführung eines Huf Fachwerkhauses, was eine gute Entscheidung war. Baueingabe war sehr speditiv und vor allem auch die Ausführung mit den lokalen Handwerkern nach der Fertigstellung der Hülle. Der Naturpool wurde ebenfalls vom Architekten geplant. Der Architekt ist sehr lösungsorientiert und angenehm in der Zusammenarbeit. Die Kosten wurden leicht überschritten.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Switzerland, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Switzerland architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Switzerland that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Switzerland cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Switzerland architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee. Make sure the total figure and payment schedule is agreed as part of your contract, particularly if you are trying to accurately estimate the cost of building a house.


Questions to ask prospective Switzerland architects:


  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • Who will be working on my project? (This is very important if you hire an architectural firm)
  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and other subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
  • What will I need to provide?
