About us
Angela Deuber Architects (ADA) is an international architecture studio based in Zurich, Switzerland. Angela Deuber founded ADA in 2006, having graduated from ETH Zurich in 2002. ADA’s works exhibit a clear commitment to the culture of construction, defined by a willful architectural character possessing a strong material and tectonic identity.
ADA’s architecture is characterized by unobscured rules being transferred into clear-cut structures while honoring the beauty of distinct elements and nature. Although physically very present by reducing the structures to the core, the interaction between ephemeral elements and nature transform concentrated spaces into balanced compositions conveying lightness and presence at the same time.
ADA’s projects respond to the challenges of the 21st century, offering economical solutions coupled with substantial flexibility. They are precise in thought and execution, creating enduring and timeless architecture.
Key works
ADA’s portfolio of works comprises residential and commercial properties (including high-rise buildings), special properties like hospitals, retirement homes and hotels as well as public projects such as schools, kindergartens and museums. Apart from new developments, conversions and remodelings are also being offered at an international level.

Since 2012, Angela Deuber has concentrated on theoretical work as a professor at Lucerne University, Switzerland, 2012 - 2016, then at the Porto Academy FAUP, Portugal, 2015.
