The practice was founded in 1998 by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, and is based in Basel, Switzerland.

A broad range of commissions has shaped their body of work, encompassing different scales from individual residences, institutional buildings, infrastructures and masterplans.

Starting from the sustainability of form, Christ & Gantenbein’s projects mix the ancient and the modern in beguiling ways, working with the existent in a process of continuity and transformation. Their sensitive and versatile use of materials confirms them as a sought-after position in today’s architectural realm.
