GOA GmbH

G O A - Gerber Odermatt Architekten is an architecture firm that has been active in Zürich since its founding in 2013 by Roger Gerber and Severin Odermatt. The firm specializes in public building projects as well as private commissions and is particularly interested in the interplay of urban development, building culture, society, and architecture. The architects' philosophy is based on the idea that architecture is more than just functional construction; it should create a place that establishes cultural identity and is perceived as a sensory experience.

The architects at G O A strive to create outstanding buildings that captivate through their design and spatial quality. Every project is developed with a strong focus on the special features of the building site and the requirements of the respective task. This approach fosters a close relationship between the building and its surroundings, which leads to sustainable and future-oriented architecture.

G O A's projects are diverse - from residential neighborhoods to educational institutions and multifunctional building complexes that serve the needs of the community. The designs are distinguished by innovative solutions that respect and enrich the existing urban contexts. Particularly noteworthy is the endeavor to create added value with every building that goes beyond mere use.

Through intensive engagement with the place, building and everyday culture, as well as the critical questioning of norms and conventions, G O A succeeds in creating architecture that is not only functional but also emotionally and culturally appealing.
