Jacobs Architekten aspires to a coherent plan, clear form and careful detailing.
A distinct preference for the contrast between cool materials such as steel and glass, and warm materials like wood and natural stone, results in a tension between mass and transparency, solidity and intangibility, tacit robustness and tactile fragility.

The technological aesthetic of the final product is not only articulated by the refined character of the main structure, facades and installations, but especially in the minimal use of material and energy.
