Working on the horizon

NOHNIK is a multidisciplinary design agency for architecture and landscape architecture. Our projects represent a unique combination of multiple design backgrounds which form the basis for integral solutions in complex projects. We are motivated by the intrinsic qualities of a place, its users and inhabitants. This provides realistic tailor made solutions on multiple scale levels. In our projects, a sustainable approach forms the base for every successful result. We aim to develop plans that do not only contribute to a sustainable human habitat, but also foster a energy neutral operation of places and social connectedness.
