When profiling architecture firms, one looks for themes and patterns in their work, but that sort of generalizing is precisely what the architects in the Swiss firm Atelier Scheidegger Keller don’t like to do. “We really try to avoid getting into any kind of general approach,” says 45-year-old Jürg Keller, cofounder of the Zürich-based office with 43-year-old Christian Scheidegger. “It’s perhaps a bit of a romantic ideology, but for us every new project is an opportunity to address things from scratch. Each time we think about how to construct a house, it’s a totally different approach.”
