From furniture art to architectural collections:
"Why should only individual pieces of furniture be considered art objects?" Philipp asks rhetorically. "We have repeatedly focused on collectible furniture in our projects. It was only a matter of time before we took the next big step and turned architecture as a whole into a unique collector’s item — a total work of art that combines exclusivity, the highest quality, and emotional depth."

The concept of collectible architecture is based on the principles of collectible furniture, which has existed at the intersection of art and design for centuries. These handmade, high-quality objects are characterized by a strong artistic vision, excellent craftsmanship, and cultural context. "We were completely fascinated by the idea of designing an entire villa at this level," Anna Philipp explains.

Architecture as an exclusive collector’s item
At Philipp Architekten, the team understands collectible architecture to be much more than conventional architecture. "Each of our projects is designed as a one-of-a-kind, tailor-made piece through the highest level of craftsmanship, selected materials, and an unmistakable artistic vision," says Anna Philipp, describing her approach.

The majority of the furnishings and interior design consist of genuine collectible furniture — those exclusive, handcrafted pieces that are considered collector’s items. But that’s not all. The entire building is transformed into a work of art that fulfills all classic functions with the same commitment to artistic expression, craftsmanship, atypical use of materials, and courage to experiment. Thus, art can be experienced not only as in a museum but also brought to life in the truest sense of the word!

New standards for discerning builders
With this innovative approach, Philipp Architekten caters to a growing target group of discerning builders who value uniqueness and the highest quality. "Our clients receive more than just classic architecture and interior design services," emphasizes Anna Philipp. "They receive an architectural collector’s item — a building that reflects their individuality and offers space for personal growth."

This concept is becoming more important against the backdrop of the growing collectible design market. Experts are observing an increasing fusion of the worlds of art and design, with collectors seeking more unique and artistically valuable objects.

Outlook: Architecture reimagined
"Our spaces are functional and tell stories, evoke emotions, and meet the highest standards of exclusivity," says Anna Philipp, summarizing her vision. With her team at Philipp Architekten, she is establishing a new category in the architectural landscape — one that transforms buildings into collectible works of art.

This approach, known as Collectible Architecture, could be groundbreaking for the future of exclusive architecture, showing how the industry can reinvent itself through innovative thinking.
