Your project in the canton of St. Gallen
The canton of St. Gallen almost entirely surrounds the two Appenzells and stretches from Lake Constance to Lake Zurich. The city of St. Gallen is known for its old town with oriel-windowed houses and for many buildings from its textile era. Rapperswil and Jona, on the shore of Lake Zurich, combine a historic centre with newer residential districts. Wil and Gossau are busy regional centres, while in the Rhine Valley, Altstätten and Buchs lie close to the Austrian border. The Toggenburg, around Wattwil, is a hilly landscape of farms and timber chalets. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For an old house in a town centre, ask your municipality whether the planned work requires approval. Give the municipality and postcode and describe building access, whether the project is in town, by the lake or in the Toggenburg.
- For an oriel-windowed house in St. Gallen's old town, attach photos of the façade and windows.
- In the Toggenburg, say whether the house is isolated and how it can be reached in winter.
- On the shores of Lake Zurich or Lake Constance, describe access to the plot and the space available for materials.
Architecture projects in the canton of St. Gallen
In the canton of St. Gallen, the city of St. Gallen, the shores of Lake Zurich and the Rhine Valley offer very different settings. In the city, town houses with oriel windows and buildings from the embroidery boom lend themselves to flat renovations and storey additions. In Rapperswil, the old town and the lakeshore call for discreet projects. In the Toggenburg, around Wattwil, timber farmhouses and shingled houses are being turned into homes for one or two families. The architect safeguards the character of the place while improving comfort and light. Before finalising your St. Gallen project, consult the municipality.
- In a house with an oriel window, have the condition of the oriel's timber structure checked before renovating it.
- For a farmhouse in the Toggenburg, study with the architect how to keep the shingles and improve insulation from the inside.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose an architect in St. Gallen?
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.
