Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
Studio GROSS, an experimental architecture practice based in Tokyo. The studio understands architecture not only as a discipline of building, but as a broader cultural practice that connects design, research, and curatorial work. Alongside architectural projects, Studio GROSS collaborates with institutions such as the Canadian Centre for Architecture and the Swiss Architecture Museum, exploring architecture through exhibitions, film, and public discourse. Having lived and worked in Japan for nearly a decade, the studio brings both everyday experience and professional insight into Tokyo’s evolving built environment, with a particular focus on renovation and neighborhood-scale transformations. Sebastian was working at 'gmp von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects' on stadia projects for Olympic Rio2016, Soccer Worldcup 2018 in Krasnodar and the refurbishment of the existing Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid. Sebastian successfully graduated from a European architectural Master's Course and gained professional experience by practicing in international Teams in the Architecture office 'Shigeru Ban Architects' in Tokyo and 'Graft - Architect' in Berlin.
