“It simply has to feel good to look at—a bit like butterflies in your stomach. When that feeling fades and, upon closer inspection, the elegant and cleanly executed details become apparent, then it is good architecture.”Fionn Mögel
Following projects in Switzerland and Dubai, the firm QUERKOPF ARCHITEKTEN was founded QUERKOPF ARCHITEKTEN Hamburg in 2011. It all began with a successful bid in a competition for the abandoned Vattenfall power plant “Bullerdeich” in Hamburg.
Fionn Mögel has led the firm as managing director ever since, with his brother Simon Mögel serving as Head of Design. Addition.
