Good architecture enhances the quality of life. Even for the elderly. The implementation of this philosophy in its design for an assisted retirement and care home earned ATP 1st prize in a two-phase study competition. The sustainable and comprehensive nature of the design by our team in Zurich fully convinced the evaluation committee and ATP was unanimously commissioned to continue the development of the project.

A key intermediate objective has been reached: The shell-and-core of Terminal 2 of Berlin Brandenburg Airport has been completed. It will be possible to process up to six million passengers a year here from October 2020, at which point BER Airport should also be opened.

With more than 800 employees in its ten integrated design offices ATP architects engineers is Europe’s leading integrated design office. The relocation to Zurich West is enabling the company’s Zurich office to become a Swiss competence center for digital interdisciplinary design with Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Since the beginning of the year the design group ATP architects engineers, which operates across Europe, has been the new majority shareholder of Mint Architecture. On Thursday evening the two sister companies ATP Zurich and Mint Architecture celebrated the opening of their new offices, which are very close to each other in Zurich West.

The specialists for commercial and user-oriented architecture Mint Architecture has moved to Zurich West. In its new premises at Förrlibuckstrasse 150 the architectural office has created a process-oriented world of work based on the approach of “activity-based working” that will facilitate new innovative ways of working and enable visitors to experience the brand and culture of the architectural office in three-dimensional surroundings.
