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.
Made-to-measure projects in the canton of St. Gallen
From the shores of Lake Constance to the hills of the Toggenburg, St. Gallen is varied, and made-to-measure projects follow this diversity. In the city of St. Gallen, townhouses with carved oriel windows contain spacious flats that are reorganised: a home office, a walk-in wardrobe in a former bedroom, an enlarged bathroom. In the Toggenburg, around Wattwil, timber farmhouses with shingle façades are converted into family homes, holiday lets or workshops. In the Rheintal, recent family homes readily take pergolas, summer kitchens or basement studios. Before altering a typical house or an oriel window, the municipality will tell you what is permitted. Do not hesitate to write your request in English.
- For a Toggenburg farmhouse, ask for a tradesperson experienced with old timber to preserve the shingles and roof structure.
- If your flat is in a house with an oriel window, check with the condominium what may be altered inside it.

Frequently asked questions
What details should I include for a bespoke project in St. Gallen?
Describe the finished result, intended use and work that does not fit a standard category. Include approximate dimensions, materials and items to keep, with a sketch or safe photographs. State whether design, fabrication and installation should all be included in the proposed project.
How should I describe a project that spans several trades?
Explain the finished result first, then list the elements requiring design, fabrication or installation. Photographs or a sketch can show how these elements connect. Ask who coordinates the different tasks and which parts require a specialist assessment before a complete scope is agreed.
What should I compare in quotes for a bespoke project?
Compare deliverables, materials, design stages and installation against the same brief. Identify prototypes, measuring and any specialist checks separately. Ask how changes are documented and who approves final drawings, so that an initial concept is not confused with a finished installed item.
How should I prepare for a bespoke project visit or work?
Collect dimensions you can obtain safely, photographs and examples of the function or appearance wanted. Identify items to keep and restrictions on access. Keep the brief focused on the work; contact details and any sensitive documents can be handled privately when needed.
