Founding Partners

We are Spacecouncil.
A global studio for architecture, urbanism and strategic consultancy, based in Zurich and working worldwide. Our commitment is to combine design excellence with social and environmental responsibility.

What we believe.
Every project is an exercise in precision — radical abstraction, maximum reduction, and high architectural value. We balance the demands of today with the possibilities of tomorrow, always searching for clarity in complexity.

Our story.
Founded in 2019 in Zurich and Singapore by Sonja and Dietmar, Spacecouncil builds on award-winning experience across Europe and Asia. Our backgrounds unite architectural and urban design, art, engineering, and strategic research. Our shared histories bring together the discipline of Europe and the dynamism of Asia, shaping a practice enriched by multiple cultures.

What we bring.
We serve cities, institutions, investors and private clients who seek projects of cultural and lasting significance. For our clients, we act as trusted partners — discreet, visionary, and dedicated to shaping bold, enduring futures. From interiors to urban strategies, our team combines analytical insight with creative strength. We explain the “what is” and envision the “what if” — enabling clients to dream big, and trust that we will design what others have not yet imagined.
