Direct peers

• Stücheli Architekten: A major Swiss architecture practice headquartered in Zurich, regularly winning open public competitions for schools, sports facilities, and federal buildings. Direct competitor for the same Swiss municipal and cantonal public commissions NYX pursues.
• Burkhalter Sumi Architekten: Zurich-based architecture firm of similar scale competing in the same Swiss public architectural competitions. Both practices target school, sports, and village/community building typologies for municipal clients.
• Duplex Architekten: A Zurich architecture practice closely comparable in size and competition focus, regularly participating in Swiss public tenders for schools and community buildings. Direct head-to-head competitor in the Swiss public sector market.
• Richter Dahl Rocha & Associés: Swiss architecture firm that commissioned NYX ARCHITECTES as a sub-consultant on The Circle at Zurich Airport. Comparable in size and Swiss public sector focus, with overlapping specializations in mixed-use and cultural buildings.
• Hosoya Schaefer Architects: A Zurich-based architecture firm of comparable scale that co-bid the Metalli-Areal Zug project with NYX ARCHITECTES. Both practices compete for Swiss public tenders in similar typologies (school buildings, urban developments) and operate from Zurich with similar team profiles.
• EM2N Architekten: Zurich architecture firm focused on public buildings and urban development, including school, cultural, and transit projects. Comparable in Swiss market positioning and competition strategy, with a stronger urban development emphasis.

Broad incumbents

• Diener & Diener Architekten: Established Basel architecture firm with significant Swiss public sector portfolio, including residential, cultural, and educational typologies. Larger and longer-running but competitive in the same Swiss public tender markets.
• Meili Peter Architekten: Established Zurich firm where NYX co-founder Nathanaël Chollet trained. A broader incumbent with deeper institutional relationships, larger team, and longer-running competition track record across Switzerland in school and institutional architecture.
• BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group): International architecture practice competing globally in public competitions for cultural, civic, and mixed-use projects. Less direct in geography but a comparable firm in competition-driven growth and typological innovation in public buildings.

Emerging players

• Studio Vulkan Zürich: Zurich-based architecture practice of comparable size, working on public, residential, and cultural projects across Switzerland and Western Europe. A peer in the mid-sized Swiss competition ecosystem.
