What fsp Architekten does

fsp Architekten AG is a privately held Swiss architecture firm headquartered in Spreitenbach, founded in 1977 by Heinz Fugazza and William Steinmann. The firm provides full-service architecture across healthcare buildings (Spitalbauten, Gesundheitsbauten), office and commercial buildings (Büro-/Gewerbebauten), residential developments, industrial facilities, and educational buildings, with services spanning planning, interior design, general planning, Design-Build, and architectural competitions (Wettbewerbe).

The firm operates as part of the MIC.MIND.SET strategic network, which provides integrated digital project chains across sister companies (sattlerpartner architekten AG, lbta, e45, blackswiss). Blackswiss runs BIM operations in Ho Chi Minh City, giving fsp scalable digital planning capacity through "BIM to Field" methodology that links Building Information Modeling directly to construction production. The proprietary "Design to Value" framework underpins client engagements by integrating value-creation logic of the finished building into the design process.

The business model is professional-services fee-based, with revenue driven by quote-based project commissions and study commissions (Studienaufträge) won in architectural competitions (60+ wins over 45+ years). Distribution is direct and sales-led through regional offices in Spreitenbach, Wallisellen, Luzern, Solothurn, and Chur, with international offices in Milano (Italy) and Wrocław (Poland). Enterprise clients include major Swiss hospitals (Stadtspital Zürich Triemli, Universitätsspital Basel, Luzerner Kantonsspital, Spitalzentrum Biel-Brügg, PDAG Königsfelden), Pallas-Kliniken, Tudor, and Flughafen Zürich. Leadership transitioned to a second generation in 2023, with a further COO addition in February 2026.
