About me
With roots in Lower Franconia and over thirty years of international experience, I bring a unique blend of cultural depth and architectural innovation to my work. My journey began with studies in art history, archaeology, and Romance languages, which led me to Italy—a country that has captured my heart. Pursuing my childhood dreams, I studied architecture in Venice, where the city’s rich cultural tapestry ignited my creativity and shaped my professional path.
Since 2006, I have been working as a freelance architect at Lake Garda, helping clients realize their dream of owning a holiday home in Italy. My early passion for sustainable building technologies inspired me to introduce energy-efficient practices like Klimahaus, Passivhaus, and ActiveHouse to the Italian market.
The emergence of my vision
A transformative experience at a wellness resort in Southeast Asia shifted my perspective on architecture, deepening my understanding of the connection between human beings, their environment, and the spaces they inhabit. This insight has driven me to create living environments that promote harmony between people and their surroundings, integrating physical and energetic qualities into the design.
Today, my focus is on developing holistic living spaces that foster cultural exchange and personal growth. My work is driven by a passion for holistic disciplines, with the goal of strengthening human awareness and mindfulness—key prerequisites for building a more sustainable future. I am passionate about connecting people and guiding them to new dimensions of well-being through thoughtful, sustainable design. My love for travel, art, and holistic practices like yoga and meditation continually expands my awareness and inspires my work.
At CoCoN, I combine my expertise in architecture, sustainability, and holistic living to create spaces that not only meet the highest standards of luxury and design but also contribute to a more sustainable and harmonious world. I invite you to join me in this journey, where we can together shape the future of sustainable hospitality.
