Although inspiring

the name Hope of Glory was arbitrarily recycled from an

afro-shop next-door. The firm was founded in 2006 by three friends - Clemens

Luser, Martin Emmerer and Hansjörg Luser - a triumvirate of three characters with

different skills, experiences, but a common concern to make good architecture.

From this starting point, HoG generates their working method: At the start of each

project is a joint discussion about the task at hand, a debate about the place,

situation, and context - always similar, always with an open mind, until a viable

interpretation is found. These different approaches and their constantly changing

balance generate solutions, which are never subordinate to any particular style

formula, and nor do they lead to formal fashion.

All arguments, whether analytical-structural, artistic, socially-oriented, or

pragmatic, are equally legitimate, but are always determined anew. Recognizable

branding is not a matter of concern to us; on the other hand, our constants are well

conceived spaces, appropriate conceptual gestures, functionality, a high quality

of technical execution, differentiated material selection and a good dialogue with

the client.

HoG has no fixed clientele, orders are generated primarily through competitions

or recommendations. The range of our projects goes from cultural buildings,

large residential projects, building tasks in the historical context to small new

projects or conversions for private clients. Beside the architectonic work, the

interest in scientific questions, artistic projects or the communication between the

architectural topics enriches HoG's potential.
