Hannes Peer

Hannes Peer, originating from South Tyrol, artfully integrated architectural prowess with an abiding passion for craftsmanship. His educational journey through the Politecnico in Milan and the Technical University in Berlin was marked by influential stints at distinguished establishments, including OMA/Rem Koolhaas, Zvi Hecker in Berlin, Studio Mosca, and Metrogramma in Milan. This trajectory paved the way for the inception of ‘Hannes Peer Architecture’ in Milan in 2009, evolving into a dynamic collective of up to 10 freelance architects and designers.

Eclecticism, a defining tenet in his work, transcends mere stylistic choice—it represents a holistic navigation through the intricate interplay of architecture, historical context, and cutting-edge technologies. This guiding philosophy permeates the studio’s diverse projects, encompassing ventures from international brand product design to expansive architectural endeavors in hospitality and residential design.

Poetic vision seamlessly intertwines with rigorous design principles, resulting in projects that stand as a testament to the studio’s unwavering commitment to top-tier craftsmanship. The distinctive iconographic identity of his projects is rooted in a continuous exploration of colors and materials, reflecting an unrelenting pursuit of innovation. The fusion of contemporary languages, a harmonious blend of traditional and modern elements, and the intentional overlay of diverse styles encapsulate a sense of eclecticism and uniqueness that defines the studio’s aesthetic.

A pivotal aspect of Peer’s journey is the seamless interrelation between architecture, interior design, and product design. This synergy propels projects inspired by subtle transitions between these disciplines.

His background as a trained carpenter adds a personal touch, as he crafts wooden prototypes in the studio. Beyond private residential projects, he ventures into designing individual pieces for distinguished design galleries and international brands.

His indelible mark on the design landscape is evident through consistent recognition in Architectural Digest’s AD100 list and the Elle Decor A-List. In 2019, he participated in the prestigious AD Interiors exhibition in Paris, further solidifying his influence on the global design stage.
