Way of working
At the beginning of all architectural projects there is the specified location and the planning requirements of the client, which are processed within the preliminary design. Here we donât try to draw immediately, but first research, read and write and then create a conceptual literal basis, which we then try to translate into our room sketches.

Our interest is in architecture that can be realized with simple and honest means with simple and honest means, in a pure and original form. By omitting we want to get to the essence of the built space. We want to create archetypal spaces for poetic moments. Progress and further development are important to us, but at the same time sustainability: we should not cut down more wood than can grow back.
Materiality stands in a hierarchical relationship to the idea of ââspace. It must serve the idea and not dominate it. What exactly does honest materiality, regionality, naturalness, simplicity and authenticity mean in a global world in which many processes can hardly be traced back to their origins?
spado architects acts as an expert and advises or accompanies the projects from start to finish. The creative planning processes are taken over by the two managing directors. A well-coordinated team of employees then ensures the professional and efficient implementation of the specified and clearly defined measures. A complete architecture service package is delivered, whereby the work of spado architects also includes the areas of interior design and landscape architecture.
