The name Avanto – literally a hole in the ice for winter swimming – symbolizes the office’s philosophy. The partners enjoy nature and hope to preserve the same opportunity for future generations too. Avanto Architects create architecture that is sustainable in the widest sense of the term. With works ranging from product design to urban planning, the architects aim to design through an understanding of the users of their projects, in order to create ambiences that evoke an emotional response. More than just physical buildings, they see architecture as a means to improve the quality of life for all who engage it.
