Architecture projects in the canton of Bern
The canton of Bern brings together contrasting settings: arcaded houses in Bern's old town, chalets in the Oberland, farmhouses in the Emmental and the bilingual districts of Biel/Bienne. In the city, an architect is often called in to transform an old flat, create an open-plan kitchen or convert a loft without spoiling the building. In Thun and around the lakes, family home projects take account of views, slope and snow cover. In the Bernese Jura, around St-Imier, watchmakers' houses with large windows offer fine volumes to reinvent. Whatever the area of Bern, ask the relevant municipality about the constraints of the neighbourhood.
- In an old Bernese farmhouse with a large roof, study the use of the barn volume with the architect before considering an extension.
- For a chalet in the Oberland, plan for the weight of snow and the eaves from the very first drawings.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose an architect in Bern?
Look at the architect's previous projects and check that they have experience with similar work. Meet them to see if you share the same vision and communicate well. Ask what the assignment covers, from design to site supervision.
How do I distinguish an architectural study from full project supervision?
A feasibility study, permit documentation, tendering and site supervision are different stages. Explain which decisions you need help with and ask for the deliverables at each stage. The assignment should state who coordinates specialist studies and how later construction work is followed.
What should I compare in architect quotes?
Compare assignment stages, drawings, specialist coordination and site follow-up against the same brief. Ask which procedures apply to the project and who handles them. Agree how revisions and approvals are documented, without assuming a standard permit duration across different municipalities and projects.
How should I prepare for the architect visit or work?
Collect property plans, available surveys and information about known constraints. List intended use, retained features and your priorities. Arrange access for the initial visit and share sensitive property documents privately, so the feasibility study begins with the relevant facts.
