an-a-c is a Basel and Tokyo based architecture studio by Nao Uchida, Robert Schiemann, and Jan-Holger Stucken.

We aim for empathetic and sustainable architecture that aligns with the diverse landscapes of Japan and Switzerland where we engage with a broad range of scales and project types, including healthcare facilities, residential and commercial properties, stores, and custom furniture.

In 2020, our sensitive approach to design was acknowledged with the 2nd Prize in the "Klinik im Hasel" competition, where we envisioned a rehabilitation clinic built with wooden modules and rammed earth elements. In 2021, we did a project study for a compact commercial building that uses an adjacent parking garage's ramp system for seamless access to the upper floors. Since then, we've implemented a minor conversion project to avoid a more invasive alteration, participated in site developments, and proposed sustainable, efficient densification methods.

Parallel to our design and planning initiatives, we maintain an interest in academia and contributed as guest critics to studio reviews at IIT Chicago and ETH Zurich.
