Reigo & Bauer

Since it’s founding by Merike and Stephen Bauer in 2005, Reigo & Bauer has developed an extensive portfolio of contemporary architecture and interiors that includes new builds and ambitious renovations, primarily focused on the residential sector. The firm’s strikingly modern work represents a deeply informed evolution of traditional vernacular, often with sculptural massing that deftly reinterprets classical forms. The results are open yet defined interior spaces that allow for an understanding of the continuity of the space beyond.

Reigo & Bauer projects deliver a unified though highly varied aesthetic experience. Through restrained minimalism, design details are reduced to their most essential forms—simplified, rather than lessened—eliminating what’s unnecessary to strengthen what’s meaningful. This quiet background makes room for unexpected touches that reinforce, rather than compete with, one another; through the firm’s expert use of extended motifs and coordinated layers of detail, multiple design elements act as a single gesture.
