Individuality
When you are on the cutting edge, what has been done before isn’t good enough. We create new architectural solutions by approaching each project with rigor and curiosity. We combine innovative design with progressive construction techniques to ensure the building is a unique expression of your needs and values.
Financial Awareness
A building is a significant investment of time, financial capital, and oftentimes political capital. To that end, we strive to design projects with cost controls in mind.
Cutting Edge Technology
We create cutting edge design using state-of-the-art resources: materials, construction techniques and technology. We do this through continuous education, training and a commitment to excellence.
Innovation
In addition to his practice, Carsten Roth is a professor at the Institute of Construction Design, Industrial and Health Care Building at the Technische Universität Braunschweig, one of the most important architectural schools in Germany. Roth was selected for this position in large part because of his success in combining design with progressive construction techniques. Carsten Roth is committed to using the resources available to him at the University, which include a staff to pursue his passion for design and technological innovation.
Passion
Our clients tell us our passion for good design is contagious. Our goal is that everyone who visits and works in your building will feel this passion, too.
International Excellence
Whether your project is located in Europe, the United States or around the world, you have access to our highly skilled and internationally experienced team. We ensure you the benefits of world class architecture and local responsiveness by aligning with local architecture offices wherever you are located.
