MET Architects

MET Architects was founded in 2009 by Roula Moharram and Thomas Thalhofer. With a team of international, highly qualified employees, we develop independent solutions specifically adapted to each building project. Our portfolio includes new buildings and conversions of various scales, from small direct commissions such as a family tomb in Beirut to the complete redevelopment of entire school complexes as the result of a planner competition, such as the Wirtschaftsgymnasium in Basel. In close dialogue with our clients, we create comprehensible, identity-forming and long-lasting architecture that receives public recognition in the form of publications and awards. With numerous competition successes, we have established ourselves as specialists in the handling of listed buildings. Our approach is characterized by a thorough analysis and evaluation of the urban context, the socio-cultural background and the historical structure. Based on these findings, we develop projects that meet current programmatic and technical user requirements with high constructive quality, individual detailed solutions and creative sensitivity and begin a new life cycle for the historical building.
