scherzer.kalau.architekten

The office scherzer.kalau.architekten is already in its third generation since its foundation. Its projects range from residential construction via office and administration buildings to special constructions. For some years now, it has focused on the new construction and conversion of student accommodation for public institutions and private investors. The know-how gained through repeated cooperation with clients can be used specifically and successfully in the planning process.

An important concern in the planning and implementation of construction projects is careful use of the available resources. Holistic project considerations, including operating and maintenance costs as well as the life cycles of the components used, play a major role here. Such analyses show that the investment costs in the construction of a building, based on customary planning and construction processes still used, represent only a small proportion of the total costs of the building over its entire life cycle. It is therefore important to avoid the frequent recurrence of component replacements and high operating and maintenance costs. In order to achieve a balance between these components, a close dialogue between client and architect is essential, which forms the basis for the joint planning and design of the future.
