Profile

Guerra Clauss Architects is a multidisciplinary and multicultural practice based in Basel, at the geographic centre of Europe, near the borders of three countries. This architecture and urban planning studio is led by partners with complementary skills and expertise. It draws from diverse experience in Switzerland, Portugal, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Japan.

The studio focuses on designing cities and buildings for today's and tomorrow's users, while rethinking construction systems and material use to minimize environmental impact—this is central to Guerra Clauss Architects' approach.

The history of Guerra Clauss Architects began in 2022 with the founding of Guerra Clauss Garin Architects by Ana Sofia Guerra, Arthur Clauss, and Alejandro Garin. It was established after the team won the competition for the “New Office Building Botnar Research Centre for Child Health (BRCCH)” in 2021. Since December 2023, the company has been led by Ana Sofia Guerra and Arthur Clauss under the name Guerra Clauss Architects.
