About Christoph
Wide Horizons, Deep Roots: Born and raised in the countryside, I set out to explore the world during my ‘Sturm und Drang’ phase, studying, working and living as an architect across three continents. I have now returned to the bosom of my homeland and am enjoying a traditional family life with a house, garden and pets… apart from the occasional outing with my childhood friends.
