Buildings since 2004
VARGA ELTER ARCHITECTS — MUNICH, SINCE 2004
Architecture, taken slowly.
Houses, museums and places to work for people who notice the difference between a room and a place.
ABOVE: HOUSE AT THE LAKE · STARNBERG · 2024
We design houses, museums, interiors and places to work – eleven a year, never more.
SELECTED WORK
Four buildings, one attitude.
From a lake house to a museum wing – every project starts with a whole day on site, at dawn and at dusk.

PROCESS
From the first line to the last light.
Every house exists twice: on paper, drawn by hand at our long table, and on site. Slide to see how close the two remain.
01
A day on site – Dawn to dusk, before a single line.
02
Drawn by hand – Sketches, models, then plans.
03
Built with care – We stay until the keys change hands.
WHAT WE DO
Four disciplines, one table.
Architects, interior designers and engineers work side by side – so the building, the rooms and the light are designed together.
01
Architecture
Private houses, workplaces and public buildings – from the first sketch to the handover.
02
Interiors
Rooms, built-in furniture, light and materials, designed with the building.
03
Renovation
Existing buildings, carefully updated. We keep the character and add what is missing.
04
Consulting
Site studies and competitions for developers, companies and municipalities.
THE STUDIO
Thirty-eight people. One long table.
Architects, interior designers and engineers in a former print works in Maxvorstadt. Every client meets the people who actually draw – from the first visit to the day the keys change hands.
