an-a-c | An Architecture Collaboration

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

Our work focuses on the intersection of cautious use of material, urban sustainability, and context-driven design. We explore these themes through sensitive conversions of existing structures, studies for efficient urban densification and a deep engagement with natural building materials, as demonstrated by our 2nd Prize-winning design for a rehabilitation clinic in wood and rammed earth. This approach is applied to projects ranging from health care facilities, like the recent renovation of a childcare clinic, to private homes such as our house in Karuizawa.
