Kaschka Knapkiewicz and Axel Fickert have gained great recognition since establishing their studio in Zürich in 1992. Especially their housing projects have set new standards and have influenced an entire generation of Swiss architects. Knapkiewicz & Fickert rank among the leading firms in residential architecture in Switzerland.
