Brief description

Atelier Thomas Pucher’s designs arise from meticulous research, grasping the spirit of the site and its context to create iconic buildings that stand for themselves.

Since its founding in 2005, flexibility has been a key strength. Internationally prestigious buildings such as the OIC headquarters in Jeddah and the Warsaw Sinfonia are as much part of their portfolio as excellent, highly functional commercial centres, hospitals, schools and research facilities, or elegant villas and hotels, or outstanding museums and theatres.

The Atelier Thomas Pucher team includes 60 architects and engineers from all over the world, together with a general planning team of 160 architects, mechanical and structural engineers, and consultants in energy and building physics.

Thomas Pucher is winner of the Karl Friedrich Schinkel prize, the International UIA prize, ‘Best Architect’ Austria 11 and 12, and in 2010 the Fischer von Erlach prize.

In recent years Atelier Thomas Pucher has won over 30 competitions across the world, and is involved in architectural and urban planning projects in Austria, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Poland, Taiwan, the Czech Republic, Romania, Armenia, Estonia, Slovakia, Latvia and others.
