What it is about &
what we stand for
New challenges
are our passion.
Our team includes architects, HVAC designers, building biologists, geomancers, surveyors, hydrologists, building physicists, structural engineers etc. Together we develop contemporary construction projects. Not the conventional building itself is our vision, rather it is all about the attitude.
Of course we measure all aspects which concern the category „constructing“ as a whole, as well as expert-knowledge, experiences and high quality requirements the same way as our customer’s manifold requirements.

2001 was the key year for Christoph Alexander Smode: after graduating at Ortwein School of Building Technology in Graz, he started working at Smode, a master builder’s office. The foundation of Smode Bauträger GmbH in 2006 can be seen as the cornerstone for a variety of his own residential projects.
He also graduated at HTWK Leipzig and reached his goal of being a master builder (architect) easily. Because of this comprehensive education his work is very diverse: his fields of activity include tendering procedures, construction supervision, etc.
Most important for him are sustainable construction projects in terms of building cybernetics and geomancy. Further, he sees constructive discussions within his team as the fundamentally element of each and every draft, whereby he interfaces between customers and professionals.
His personal favorite spot: a design-log at the beach of San Juan del Sur (Nicaragua) which he sees as a place of consciousness and inspiration.
