The work of Bollhalder Walser Architektur is characterised by an intensive preoccupation with architecture of different scales and typologies. We see urban planning and social and ecological considerations as the basis of all architectural design. We greatly respect the tradition of open architectural competitions in Switzerland; a significant proportion of our built projects are the result of such competitions.

Bollhalder Walser Architektur is led by Raphael Bollhalder, Christian Walser and Markus Bollhalder, with support from August Eberle. In 1981 Markus Bollhalder and August Eberle founded the architecture office bearing their own names in St. Gallen. In 2009, Raphael Bollhalder and Christian Walser joined the team, and have been members of the board since 2013. A second studio was opened in Zurich in 2011. Reflecting this generational change, in 2023 Bollhalder Eberle Architektur was renamed Bollhalder Walser Architektur.

In over forty years of practice, the office has acquired extensive expertise in the interdisciplinary planning and realisation of complex projects in all project phases. A love for detail and an enthusiasm for architecture are always at the centre of every project.

For us, good dialogue with our clients is essential. We see honesty and openness – but also independence – as the foundation for working together. In everyday office life, we encourage independent working and a culture of open discussion among our team. We take responsibility in training apprentices, and offering internships.

We can rely upon a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team of more than eighty colleagues. Bollhalder Walser Architektur undertakes feasibility studies, concept designs, architectural competitions and other kinds of studies for both architecture and urban design projects. The consultation with public and private clients is just as much a part of the office’s expertise as complete project planning, detail design and cost management, up to and including construction management. If desired, the practice can assume overall responsibility as general planner.

High standards of functional and aesthetic quality have characterised our work since 1981. In St. Gallen and in Zurich, we are engaged in the design, planning and realisation of buildings. Now we are looking for you.
