Core offering

SHS Architekten AG is a full-service Swiss architecture firm providing architectural design, project development, general planning, and on-site construction management for healthcare, public, residential, commercial, industrial, and heritage-preservation buildings. The firm also offers real estate marketing and sales services to private clients and investors, with an integrated practice spanning initial concept through construction supervision.

Product overview

SHS Architekten AG is a Swiss architecture firm offering comprehensive architectural services. The firm operates as a single unified service practice rather than a platform-based product architecture. Services span architectural design across multiple specializations including healthcare facilities (Spital-Architektur), public buildings, residential housing, monument preservation/denkmalpflege, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. Additional services include urban planning, project development, construction management, and real estate marketing. The firm was founded in 1989 and converted to an AG (corporation) in 2005. Services are delivered through an integrated team approach rather than modular product components.
