KXS Architecture

What KXS Architecture does

KXS Architecture AG is a privately held Swiss architecture firm headquartered at Militärstrasse 6 in Thun, Switzerland, operating as an Aktiengesellschaft (AG). The firm delivers full-service architectural planning and construction management across all SIA 102 phases — from preliminary project and design development through permit procedures, tendering, execution planning, and completion — for private residential clients, hospitality operators, healthcare providers, and public sector clients. Its portfolio encompasses new construction (Neubau), renovation and remodeling (Umbau), restoration (Sanierung), and project competition entries spanning multi-family housing, single-family homes, vacation apartments, hotels, medical practices, and community facilities.

The firm's core technology stack centers on ArchiCAD for 2D/3D design and BIM documentation, with active recruitment specifically requiring M1–3 or A1–3 BIM certifications. The 9-person team includes SIA-credentialed architects (Dipl. Architekt FH), licensed construction managers (Bauleiter), architectural draftsmen (Zeichner EFZ Architektur), and administrative/marketing staff. The digital presence is built on the CLOUDREXX CMS platform, developed in partnership with Thun-based agency Comvation AG, with visual identity delivered by Zurich-based ROSAROT IDEENNETZ.

KXS operates a sales-led, direct engagement go-to-market model offering free initial consultations and project-based professional services with quote-based fees customized per engagement. The client base includes a repeat relationship with Hotel Royal St. Georges in Interlaken (multiple hotel, staff housing, and entrance projects), one-off residential commissions across the Bernese Oberland, and competition-based public sector entries (Gemeinde Münsingen, Engelberg). Geographic operations span the cantons of Bern, Lucerne, Zurich, and Obwalden, with no identified external investors, funding rounds, or parent company ownership.
