About us

We are IB. Passionate pioneers of architecture with the determination to continue writing history.

We offer creative, precise solutions for complex challenges, shaping intelligent living spaces from the initial concept to ultimate use.

We leave our mark on the future of planning and construction: Reliably. Sustainably. Digitally.

Architecture from A to Z.

IB is one of the few companies in Switzerland to think and do architecture from A to Z – from the initial consideration to final handover and beyond.

As architects and general contractors, we assume responsibility for the entire life cycle of a building.

We take responsibility for design, planning and both construction and project management. As a network of generalists and specialists, we have the capacity to respond appropriately to complex planning and construction requirements. After all, coordination of all involved parties is, in building terms, the key to completely consistent work.

This extensive expertise also makes us a favoured collaboration partner for renowned national and international architects.

Values that we advocate

Trustworthiness

We are a reliable and consistent partner as IB is an independent enterprise. We take responsibility for our projects, ensuring their successful conclusion. Our pledge is backed by our expertise.

Solution oriented

We support projects in every sector. Never losing sight of the big picture, we develop solutions based on a spirit of partnership, regardless of how complicated the task is.

Visionary

We are acutely aware of the impact of our activities on society, the environment and the future. Our solutions are a precise and specific response to the challenges of tomorrow.

«Design, planning, project and construction management – numerous specialists in each of these areas ensure that, overall, IB remains a generalist.»

A new generation continues to write the 100-year-old history of IB.

We are aware of what it means to respond appropriately to the tradition of Otto Rudolf Salvisberg, Otto Brechbühl and Jakob Itten today, and to ensure that this high standard is continued tomorrow.

We are privileged to be able to continue building on a corporate and architectural culture that has developed over many years. But a continuation of this tradition is only possible if we are consistent and believe in our role as generalists. Organisation, consulting, design, planning and both project and construction management therefore need to continually interact. IB is a one-stop shop for all of this – much in the manner of a classic architect.
