Theresa Häfele and Julia Nuler met at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna where they studied architecture, joining forces after working on a successful first competition together. They formed miss-vdr architektur (2010-2015) with partners Matthäa Ritter and Johanna Werschnig, under the principle of founding an all-female practice. Inspired by heroines such as Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, Jane Jacobs, Denise Scott Brown or Lina Bo Bardi, the firm also looked to other areas of contemporary culture for inspiration such as theatre and music. It is in their new formation of Häfele Nuler Architects that the team will focus further on enriching their practice with art and architecture theory.
