About Triple Living

Projects with vision

Triple Living develops total visions and builds neighbourhoods in which every building, every street and every planting contributes to the total concept. A master plan forms the strategic basis for each component of the subsequent project: from the architecture to the filling in of the commercial spaces, the landscaping and the anchoring of the site in the local neighbourhood.

Triple Living strives for a strong connection with the neighbourhood and enters into solid, long-term partnerships with local residents, local authorities and professional stakeholders. This ensures that all projects are locally supported and integrated. Their redevelopment projects, residential and work sites give neighbourhood and city a strong socio-economic impulse.

Triple Living combines the power of decades of experience with the know-how of the future. The passionate Triple Living team ensures efficient, goal-oriented development of even the most complex project. The engineers keep their finger on the pulse of the latest developments. The sustainable materials, state-of-the-art techniques and high-quality finish exceed the strictest quality requirements.

Triple Living is concerned with ecology and the socio-economic context of its projects. They want to take care of future generations. That is why Triple Living proactively focuses on advanced sustainable materials and techniques.
