Our Studio

Every space tells a story. At Planhaus, we don’t just build we translate vision into form. With a deep-rooted passion for design and a human-centered process, we craft timeless architecture that speaks to purpose, place, and possibility.

Our Story.

Founded in 2009, Planhaus began with a single ambition: to design architecture that feels as good as it functions.

What started as a two-person studio has grown into a multidisciplinary team working across residential, commercial, and cultural projects. We believe in timeless design, honest materials, and bold ideas grounded in context.

From our early sketches to today’s growing portfolio, our mission stays the same to create meaningful spaces that connect people, place, and purpose.

Design That Speaks Recognized Around the World
