Successes in national and international competitions helped the studio grow, gaining international recognition with working methods guided by the principle: "Quality is more important than prestige". Schwanzer strove for perfection, expanding on an original idea in terms of architecture and functionality. "Hour after hour, day after day, and long into the night, approaches were planned, discussed, modified, discarded and revived time and time again."
