Söhne & Partner Architects

Söhne & Partner Architekten is a Vienna practice founded in 2000, working from an office on Mariahilfer Straße. The studio describes its architecture as a dialogue between people, the environment and the purpose of each building task, and argues that critical and self-critical thinking belong to the process: problems are approached strategically, results are questioned, and answers are found creatively.

Projects are developed at a virtual level early on, so client wishes shape the design before anything is built. The practice works as designer and project manager at once, from the YOUNIQ Vienna TrIIIple student tower to the Berhan Bank headquarters in Addis Ababa and the Emirates Pearl Hotel in Abu Dhabi, serving clients across Austria and, for international work, through local partners.
