4 YEARS...

Exactly four years ago I left Vienna with a sad heart and moved to Zurich - packed up with hopes and wishes, afraid of nothing. Reality hit me hard...
Here are some things that happened, that wondered, that impressed and left me stunning over the last four years in beautiful Swissneyland (in completely random order).



Sadly the Ausländerausweis is the most important thing for a foreigner who lives in Switzerland.

This pic was taken when I had my first serious mountain hike to the Gleckstein Hütte, I like to call it the suicide hike, because it was at some parts little bit frightening. But I am happy that I did it!

Can you believe that Formula 1 is not my number one sports anymore? Slowly, since cycling myself with a racing bike, I startet to like this kind of sport so much more. I like to visit the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia and of course the Tour de Suisse since I live here.

Sadly this happens not often enough... we call it Art Night and we always have lots of fun.

What I don't understand is why someone would climb a mountain when there is a comfortable train to the top?

 I definitely love to climb a mountain when you get a view like this!

One of the things that makes me so happy here is my garden (haha look at my face)! I enjoy spending time there, having garden parties, digging in the dirt or just have a beer after work. Great!

Two years ago I started to be more creative again. Here it all began...


And on a cold an rainy November night I finally got to meet my icon in person. Thank you Amanda for everything!


I also started being a lover of excellent tasting IPAs.

The view from my living room.

During my holiday in sunny California I fell so much in love with these cute succulents, that I started propagating and growing them by myself.

This is how I move around the city everyday.

Sure we still now our roots and celebrate some Austrian holidays, like the Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria.

This one was the first concrete thing I ever made, since then I made hundreds and I still love working with concrete so much!

What always amazes me in this city is the huge amount of cranes everywhere - being an architect here is just awesome!


One of my favourite shops in the city and a must stop at every sightseeing tour :)

I am not the biggest fan of this building but in the right context it looks pretty cool and I cycled by everyday for more than 3,5 years.

Also pretty impressive is the amount of train tracks that cuts the city in two parts...

 ...and the of course the bridge that connects the two parts again!

 I don't know why but here every sunset is pretty spectacular.


Did I mention that the most beautiful cows live in the Swiss Alps?

There are really awesome mountains to climb. Look!

This summer I started to drink espresso.

I always try to have fresh flowers on my table, it just makes me happy!

MY VIEW


My view these days is  mostly like this. I am busy working on new objects in my atelier and having lots of fun with the new concrete alphabet I made.
