The practice has offi ces in London and Zurich and has a broad portfolio, with recent commissions including the Lycée Hotelier de Lille, a new head offi ce for the Bremer Landesbank in Bremen, and the new ZSC Lions ice hockey stadium in Zurich, as well as substantial mixed-use developments in Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Antwerp and Zurich.
