Office.JCFA is an architecture practice based in Zurich, Switzerland. Founded in 2019 by Julian C. Fischer, the office has since grown into a team of 10–15 dedicated professionals.
Working in close collaboration with clients, consultants, and specialists, we engage with a wide range of building typologies and scales.
Our current focus includes various housing projects, large-scale transformations, and healthcare facilities.
We take particular joy in complex tasks, sensitive contexts, and challenging budgets. Guided by a humanistic mindset, we pursue an architecture that is specific, contextual, and grounded in the complex conditions of our contemporary world.
