Astrid Pudszuhn — Architect
Architecture shaped by context, proportion, materiality, and human experience.
An architect working across housing, schools and cultural buildings, and the renovation of existing fabric — formed between Germany, France, Brazil, and the United States, where restraint, light, and detail carry the idea.

Studio
A way of working built on a sensitive balance between formal design and the choice of colours and materials — architecture that is quiet, precise, and made for the people who use it.
Every commission begins with the place and the client, not a style. The work moves from listening to drawing to construction with the same care at each scale — from the site strategy to the junction of two materials. Long stays abroad, in France, Brazil, and the United States, shaped a practice at ease across cultures.

Design philosophy
Each project begins with listening.
To the place, to the client, to the constraints, and to the silent possibilities of space.
The practice treats context, light, proportion, and materiality as the real brief — the conditions a building must answer honestly. What follows is less a signature than a discipline: keep only what the idea needs.
