People leave traces. Sometimes very subtle, legible and meaningful only for the familiar. Architects build. Steady and for everyone to see and experience. They create environments for living and working, for resting and celebrating. They create living spaces. They invent, influence and are influenced. The present buildings give an overview of the work of Walter Rüssli during 42 years. In January 2000, the office was handed over to Justin Rüssli.

PRIEST SEMINAR ST. BEAT DES BISTUMS BASEL

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT FELSENEGG
Sempach
Topography and landform as well as building regulations determine the site plan of the development. The mutually offset three, four- and five-story residential Buildings, together with the terraced single family homes result in a self-contained concept.

ATELIER HOUSE OF THE SCULPTOR KURT BRUNNER
Bergstrasse 28, Kriens
The rooms of the house are distributed over three levels and blend together into a single room through galleries offering vertical, exciting views. This is an attempt to visually connect the studio with the living area and to be able to experience the creation of artwork from here as well.
