Sehw stands for meaningfulness, emotion, attitude and change. Sehw works with self-assurance, empathy, a holistic approach and efficacy. Sehw plans serially, efficiently, with high quality and economically. Sehw has fun, enthusiasm, humour and open-mindedness. Sehw develops special architectures for special uses in special places.
Sehw is architecture as the design of social practice. Thus we are not preoccupied with the question of stone or glass, box or blob, metal or wood, straight or curved, but with the constant search for an answer to the question of how we humans will live in the future and its creative implementation in specific places.
about Sehw
Founded in 1996, Sehw is now a registered brand with currently around 60 team members at several branch offices. In addition to its original architectural work, Sehw is also active in the areas of general planning, project development and brand strategy consulting. The focus is on buildings for public use, mostly as a result of preceding architectural competitions, and buildings for the real estate industry and project we initiate ourselves.
„Sehw are the architects for the difficult, for the special.“
Since then, Sehw has won numerous prizes and awards in competitions as well as architectural prizes for completed projects, including the extension of the Lainz Hospital in Vienna, the teaching facility at Wildau Technical University, the Fraunhofer SIT institute in Darmstadt, the Gustav-Heinemann Comprehensive School in Essen and a building for shared living in Berlin, to name but a few.
