Before walls are drawn, before materials are chosen — there's a vision.
We help you shape it.
And then we shape space around it.

ARCHITECTS
Architecture begins with belief.
(about us)
WHY
WE
EXIST
We design for people who see what’s next.
Some people wait for change.
Others build the spaces it needs.
Shapespeare Architects exists for the second kind.
We help innovators, early adopters and idea-driven leaders bring your vision into form — transforming abstract ambition into bold, tangible spaces.
We’re not just architects. We’re your partner in design.
(what we do)
We don’t just design space. We design the conditions for change.
Our work bridges strategy and spatial design, making sure your architecture aligns with your values, your impact and your audience.
We don’t operate as a rigid system, but as a dynamic constellation—bringing together the right mix of expertise and superpowers, tailored to each project’s scale, vision and challenge.
This way, we assemble optimal resources without overhead, ensuring transparent, fair and professional collaboration. From the very first vision to the finished work, every project becomes a genuine win-win for client and studio alike.
(how we do it)
I don’t fit projects into rigid structures — I build the structure around your project. Every time.

PROJECTS
Explore our recent projects showcasing creativity, innovation and impactful design solutions.
Mojave is a premium villa pavilion where inside and outside dissolve into one. A serene retreat and oasis of calm, it reveals that sometimes the places least resembling an invitation hold the greatest potential—for rest, reflection and renewal in harmony with nature’s timeless elegance.
The Gentianis a contemporary family home, nestled in untouched Austrian nature. Conceived at the very edge of building regulations, it shows that only by pushing the limits of what is possible can hidden, overlooked potentials be released—creating a haven where modern living and nature quietly merge.
The Woods is a family home hidden deep within Germany’s woods. Elevated above the ground, its flowing interior unfolds like a living organism—breathing with the forest, adapting to its surroundings and transcending the static idea of a house into a symbiosis of nature and architecture.
SLIM FIT
Slim fit is an overlooked residual site into a valuable resource. By rethinking hidden potential, we unlocked space others ignored—creating added value where none was seen. Commissioned by a visionary developer, the project proves that in today’s times, innovation begins by looking beyond the obvious.
OASIS
Oasis is a bathroom envisioned as a sculptural retreat. What began as a client’s vision of calm and renewal has been shaped into pure form — a space where water, light and material flow together to create an intimate sanctuary of design and wellbeing.
TECHWOODHOMES
A TECHWOODHOME isn’t just a house. It’s a vision of how we will live tomorrow. Scalable in size, uncompromising in design, it brings together sustainability, energy efficiency, and high-end quality in one seamless experience. For those who believe a home should not only shelter—but inspire.

UNFOLD
Unfold is a year-round retreat in the mountains, designed to withstand storms and avalanches through its resilient form. Its geometry opens untouched alpine regions to safe, lasting hospitality—making possible a 365-day experience of nature where conventional tourism has yet to reach.

EXPO MILANO
Expo Info Pavilion, Milan was conceived as both landmark and guide — a structure where function and design merge seamlessly. Hyper-modern and distinctly contemporary, it provides orientation, perspective and a sense of outlook, embodying a forward-looking spirit at the very heart of the world’s fair.
HQ BERN
HQ Bern marks an industrial company’s bold step toward sustainability and circular economy. The new office is conceived as a layered architectural concept — integrating functionality, ecological responsibility and modular timber construction across multiple levels and dimensions — a future-ready workplace rooted in innovation and renewal.
CEMETERY VIENNA
Crematorium Extension, Vienna reimagines a place of farewell by uniting existing architecture with new fire halls in a respectful, contemporary way. The design integrates old and new seamlessly, while introducing an evolved concept of parting — offering spaces that are dignified, humane and attuned to modern rituals of remembrance.

SERVICES
We guide projects from the first spark of an idea to the built reality. Each phase is tailored to your goals — from envisioning possibilities, to designing with precision, to delivering with care. Agile, collaborative and transparent, our services adapt to create lasting value.
Every project begins with a vision — often clear in feeling, yet undefined in form. With Envision Architecture we guide you through this early, uncertain phase: listening, asking, clarifying and translating. Together we refine your ideas, uncover hidden potentials and shape a concept that captures what you truly want to create.
This is where imagination becomes direction. Where scattered thoughts turn into a coherent design concept. And where your vision finds its first architectural language — ready to evolve into reality.
What you gain:
-
Clarity about goals, values, and priorities
-
A tangible concept that captures your vision
-
Early visualizations and narratives to communicate your idea
-
A confident foundation for the next steps in design and development
ENVISION
ARCHITECTURE
Once the vision is clear, it’s time to give it form. With Design Architecture we transform concepts into spatial experiences — balancing aesthetics, function and sustainability. From floorplans to materials, from atmosphere to detail, we craft architecture that is both visionary and grounded, tailored to your life or business.
This is where clarity becomes design. Where ideas turn into drawings, models and spaces that can be touched and tested. And where your project gains the precision it needs to move forward with confidence.
What you gain:
-
Comprehensive design development
-
Harmonized integration of function, form, and sustainability
-
Detailed plans and visualizations for decision-making
-
A strong basis for permitting, budgeting, and execution
DESIGN
ARCHITECTURE
Architecture only matters when it becomes reality. With Deliver Architecture we guide your project through the crucial stages of execution — from technical planning to coordination and construction supervision. We safeguard the vision, ensure quality and keep all stakeholders aligned until every detail is in place.
This is where design becomes built form. Where the initial vision stands tangible, resilient and alive. And where you can step into the space that once was only an idea.
What you gain:
-
Professional technical documentation
-
Transparent project coordination and cost control
-
On-site supervision for quality and precision
-
Delivery of a built environment true to its vision
