Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Itten+Brechbühl: Larger, established Swiss architecture and general planning firm with significantly greater headcount and a broader portfolio across residential, commercial, healthcare, and infrastructure. Competes for many of the same enterprise and public-sector clients and is a clear incumbent in the Zurich market.
• Rhomberg Bau AG: Established Swiss construction and real estate services firm combining building, real estate development, and construction management. A larger incumbent competitor in the integrated design-build-deliver space where Wanner + Fankhauser operates.

Direct peers

• HHF Architects: Swiss architecture firm based in Basel with a portfolio of residential, cultural, and public projects. Comparable in scale and integrated architecture + construction management approach, and adjacent in the German-speaking Swiss market.
• EM2N Architekten: Swiss architecture firm with offices in Zurich focused on architecture, urban planning, and interdisciplinary design work. Comparable in scope to Wanner + Fankhauser's integrated architecture and planning practice, with similar project types in residential and public-sector builds.
• Nissen & Wohlwender Architekten: Swiss architecture firm with a heritage-strong portfolio of residential, commercial, and listed-building renovations. Direct peer in the heritage/renovation niche that Wanner + Fankhauser also serves across German-speaking Switzerland.
• Burkhalter Sumi Architekten: Zurich-headquartered architecture firm offering integrated architecture, planning, and construction management for residential, commercial, and public-sector projects — direct head-to-head peer in the same geography and service offering.
• 3B Architekten AG: Swiss architecture firm offering integrated architecture, planning, and construction management for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Comparable mid-sized peer with overlapping enterprise and institutional client base.
• SAM Architekten AG: Zurich-based architecture firm of comparable scale, explicitly named as a collaborator with Wanner + Fankhauser on the Vorderer Sternen project at Bellevue. Similar full-service architecture and project delivery model in the same Zurich market.
• Scheitlin Syfrig Architekten: Lucerne-based Swiss architecture firm with a heritage and contemporary new-build portfolio. Comparable in size and service mix, including integrated architecture and construction management across residential and commercial projects.

Regional players

• Strüby Konzept AG: Swiss full-service construction and real estate firm with integrated architecture, planning, and execution capabilities. Comparable service model but primarily serves Central Switzerland (Schwyz area), making it a regional rather than direct Zurich competitor.
