Sensible Architektur Philipp Hostettler

Transforming older houses and rooms to create atmosphere

In many old properties, the original room structure with its characterful materials has disappeared under layers from past modernization stages. Even after 30 years, Philipp Hostettler, a lover of old buildings, architect, designer, building biologist, and building researcher, still takes great pleasure in uncovering the authentic "face" of houses and rooms and combining them with modern elements to create a harmonious whole.
