German architecture firm · Frankfurt am Main
Private residences,
designed
and built.
Villas, waterfront estates and hotels - from the first sketch through permitting to the day you move in. One firm from the drawing to the keys, and one person answerable for it.
The founder
Andreas Schnee
Architect, licensed in Germany · practicing since 1992
Andreas Schnee has run his own practice since 1992 and answers personally for every commission, from the first sketch to the day the keys change hands. The work is private residences, villas and hotels. Standards are rarely discussed at length here; they are visible in the drawings.
Design and building were never separated here: the person who sets the proportions also chooses the material, the joint and the light, and stays with the house until it is finished. The practice is part of the SSC group near Frankfurt, with sister companies for development and turnkey construction. One firm carries design, permitting and construction. One person answers for the result.
“Architecture leaves its mark.”
Design and construction, one firm
01 - Signature
Classical · modern
Two signatures, one standard.
Classical Modernism
Order, in today's proportions
Base, cornice, tall window bays, a set-back top floor; stucco, natural stone and wrought-iron railings. Houses that look as if they had always been there.
Modernism
Volume, light, material
Clean edges, deep loggias, horizontal bands of glass, warm stucco and wood tones. Restraint as a principle: the effect comes from proportion, light and material.
02 - Villas
Private residence
The house in the garden
Siting decides a house: where it stands on the lot, which way the living rooms open, which side stays closed to the neighbors. We work with a few large openings and with walls that guide the eye.
Pool, terrace and hedge are drawn with the house rather than added to it; they form the outdoor rooms that get lived in most of the year. The garden begins at the threshold.
03 - Sequence
Waterfront residence
Approach, room, axis
04 - Principles
Frankfurt · since 1992
A house doesn't begin with the floor plan,
it begins with the land.
01
Light
The afternoon sun decides where the living rooms belong. We walk every site at several times of day before the first line is drawn.
02
Detail
Quality shows in the joint, in the transition, in the weight of a door - in things that need no explanation. That is where we spend most of our time.
03
Material
Limestone, oak, brass, honed plaster - chosen for the way they age. In twenty years they should look better than on the day you moved in.

06 - Interiors
A house isn't finished until its rooms are.
Floor plan, light, surfaces and furnishings come out of the same drawing. One team draws all of it, which is why nothing has to be concealed later.

First conversation
It begins with the site.
A first conversation, on the site itself. You show us the property and what you have in mind; we say plainly what can be made of it.
Projects
A residence, a hotel.
A residence in Miami Beach, a hotel in Palm Beach: different scales, the same care. Every design begins with the site and its axis. Further villas and hotel projects are shared on request.

Interior architecture
Rooms that get better with the years.
Interiors are not decoration here; they continue the building. Wall assembly, service runs, light points and joints come out of one drawing. What reads as an effortless surface was settled long before the finish work.
We work with workshops and trades we have known for years - stone, millwork, metal. Samples are reviewed on site, in the daylight of the room the material is meant for.
Bathroom
Limestone and brass
The floor is laid in large formats so that as few joints as possible divide the room; the tub stands free in front of the garden doors, so the evening light runs over its rim. The shower sits behind a frameless pane; fixtures and lights are brass. Vanity and mirror are built in rather than placed - the plumbing is drawn in from the start.
Kitchen
Marble island and brass
The island is cut from a single block and carries prep as well as breakfast; the painted cabinet fronts wear brass hardware and a lantern pendant hangs above it. French doors lead onto the terrace, so the garden is in the room while you cook. Pantry and china sit behind glass; the appliances stay in the back wall. Cooking, prep and dining lie on one axis.
Living
Limestone, linen, brass
The living room opens through French doors that reach up under the transoms; wall-to-wall curtains take the hardness out of the evening and soften the sound of the room. The fireplace is limestone, the upholstery linen and bouclé, and a brass chandelier holds the center. We develop the furnishings together with the floor plan so that seat heights, sight lines and paths agree - and the axis to the pool stays clear.
“Care shows in small things: in the joint that doesn’t announce itself; in the handle that finds the hand; in the door that comes to rest on its own.”
Color families
Tones that hold together
Three combinations
We work with a few tonal families and carry them through the whole house. Each combination holds two light values, one middle tone that carries the surfaces and two dark ones that set the edges.
Color family I
Limestone and oak
The quiet base tone of the living rooms: pale lime plaster on the walls, limestone on the floor, oak in the millwork, brass on handles and hardware. A single dark tone holds the row together.
Lime plaster · limestone · oak · brass · basalt
Color family II
Marble and bronze
For bath and kitchen: Carrara with quiet veining, a gray tone as counterweight, dark bronze on fixtures and hardware. Cooler in tone, equal in brightness.
Carrara · veining · basalt gray · bronze · steel
Color family III
Plaster and sage
Outside and in garden rooms: off-white stucco, linen on curtains and upholstery, together with the gray-green of boxwood and olive. Charcoal is reserved for windows and railings.

The studio
A house that lasts is not an accident. It rests on three decades of measure, judgment and craft.
Philosophy
A house is a decision about how you live.
Before the first line comes the question of how a day in this house should run: which light shapes the morning, where the coat is set down, which room gathers the evening. The form grows out of these questions - never the other way around. Three measures guide us.
Place
A house belongs first to its place. We walk the site at different times of day until it is clear where the light lingers and where the eye comes to rest. The design answers that.
Measure
Measure is more than size. A room works when height, light and path agree; that is why we draw sections long before furniture is placed. Where the proportion is right, one material that invites the hand is enough.
Time
We build for the third decade. Limestone, oak and brass gain with touch; floor plans must carry a second chapter of life. What lasts, above all, is the house nobody wants to tear down.
