Marty Architecture

What Marty Architecture does

Marty Architecture (marty architektur ag) is a privately held Swiss architecture firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Schwyz, with a secondary office in Altendorf. The firm provides full-lifecycle architectural services spanning project development (Projektierung), competitive design participation, design, planning, tendering (Ausschreibung), and construction management (Realisierung) for residential, commercial, public, and heritage projects. Its project portfolio of more than 60 documented engagements spans cantons including Schwyz, Uri, and Zurich, with a notable concentration of multi-family housing, mixed-use developments, bank and retail renovations, healthcare facilities, and selective heritage work within Swiss ISOS (Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites) zones. The firm differentiates itself through deep specialization in sustainable Swiss timber construction, including prefabricated timber element systems supplied by partners such as Schmidlin Holzbau AG, multi-story timber apartment buildings, and oak construction using locally sourced wood from forest owners including the Oberallmeindkorporation Schwyz.

The firm's underlying technology is standard architectural design tooling (CAD/BIM), with no proprietary AI, software products, or digital platform. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, supplemented by selective property sales and marketing support for certain developments (e.g., Domus Lachen, Lidwil). Customer acquisition is sales-led and relies on direct client engagement via two physical offices and the company website, regional referrals, earned media in local publications, and active participation in formal Swiss project competitions (Projektwettbewerbe), where the firm has demonstrably won commissions including a first-place ranking in the Mühlebach development tender. The client base is diversified across private homeowners, property developers and general contractors, banking and retail chains, manufacturing firms, healthcare operators, hospitality businesses, and cantonal public institutions.

The firm operates as a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft (AG) with dual legal registrations in Schwyz (CHE-114.632.603) and Altendorf (CHE-423.334.885), is privately held with no parent company, subsidiaries, or disclosed funding rounds, and has no public listing. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range. Recent activity through mid-2026 includes groundbreakings on the Seeblick residential development in Lachen (72 apartments, five phases), a mixed-use project at Landstrasse in Rothenthurm, and the on-site erection of prefabricated timber multi-family buildings at Schwyzerstrasse in Steinen, indicating an active and ongoing project pipeline.
