«Our buildings and projects are the result of a contextual method of working by means of which important as well as seemingly unimportant, yet always specific qualities of the location and task are identified. Using this type of investigation, we are able to give the rational process of integrating building elements a suggestive, poetic touch. As such, our architecture is less the result of formal intentions and far more reflects our general approach.»

The corporate history of Morger Partner began in 1988 with the foundation of the office Morger & Degelo Architekten by Meinrad Morger and Heinrich Degelo. It gained an international reputation through the construction of the municipal residential building on Müllheimerstrasse in Basel (1994), the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein in Vaduz (2000) and the Messeturm in Basel (2003). In 2006, the office Morger + Dettli Architekten was was founded, which was renamed Morger Partner Architekten in 2015 and was managed by Meinrad Morger with the partners Martin Klein and Henning König. In a generational change, the long-term partners Martin Klein and Henning König took over the office in 2019. Since 2024 they have led it into the future with the partners Matthias Welp and Laura Cychy and the associates Anna Böll and Mareen Hoppe-Kapp.

Morger Partner Architekten works with a creative team of international architects on a wide range of different projects in Basel. In addition to new construction projects such as Depot Hard in Zurich and the Deutsche Bundesbank campus in Frankfurt, we are also working intensively on complex transformations of existing buildings, such as the residential project Ostermundigenstrasse in Bern and the Liechtenstein National Library in Vaduz, which are being transferred from former office use to the next life cycle.
