Protic Architekten AG

What Protic Architekten AG does

Protic Architekten AG is a privately held Swiss architecture firm headquartered at St. Alban-Rheinweg 74 in Basel, operating since the 1980s and incorporated as an Aktiengesellschaft in 2013. The firm provides professional architectural services for planning, design, and supervision of construction projects under Swiss SIA standards (phases 1-5), serving private residential developers, property owners, and building investors in Switzerland. Its core work centers on multi-family residential buildings with underground parking, including new construction (Neubau MFH mit Autoeinstellhalle), total renovations, and ecological building practices, with current active projects in Münchenstein, Gelterkinden, and Zürich.

The firm runs on a seven-person team that handles architectural, design, and administrative functions, and engages clients through direct, project-based sales. Pricing is quoted per project based on scope and complexity rather than through any published rate card. Distribution is entirely direct, with the firm coordinating construction companies, subcontractors, engineering firms, and cantonal/municipal authorities throughout the project lifecycle. Its technology footprint is modest and conventional: a Wix-hosted portfolio website (protic.ch), Google Analytics, Google Maps API, and Instagram/LinkedIn social profiles for top-of-funnel visibility.

Three named active projects (SHWERT036 in Münchenstein, BIWE003 in Gelterkinden, TURN037 in Zürich) anchor the current book of business, with completions and construction starts scheduled for autumn and summer 2025. The Zürich engagement represents the firm's first documented activity outside the Basel region. There is no public record of external funding, acquisitions, subsidiaries, or institutional ownership; the company appears independently operated by its Basel-based team.
