The company's overall expertise extends to competent project management, from the selection of the plot of land to the planning and construction of the building projects and the marketing of the buildings and facilities.

Building culture as a benchmark for superior living quality

Romano & Christen develop living spaces that fulfil the natural desire for daylight and activity as well as retreat and security. Primary materials such as wood and stone, open-plan layouts, harmonious proportions and the reduced playfulness of organic elements combine to form a whole. The result is personal places of power and well-being.

As active promoters of a high-quality built environment, Romano & Christen create liveable spaces as part of comprehensive concepts for large housing estates and customised solutions for individual buildings. Romano & Christen sees building as a cultural and social process and combines individual needs with social responsibility wherever possible. We think and act holistically, progressively and innovatively.

A comprehensive service for your satisfaction

Founded in 1997 in the tradition of modular construction, Romano & Christen are still committed to minimalist, efficient and solid construction today. We provide comprehensive support for all projects - from the choice of plot, planning and construction through to occupation, sale or letting. Thanks to our many years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the market, we ensure smooth processes and the highest quality - for private developers and investors alike.

Comprehensive service and support for our clients from the beginning to the successful conclusion of the co-operation and beyond make Romano & Christen a competent and reliable partner. It is possible to view a sample property at any time.

Trust as the basis for many years of enjoyment

Security and relaxation are deeply rooted basic needs. Our rooms of strength fulfil these needs. The solid construction quality with high-quality materials paired with the well-considered choice of locations results in optimum added value. Personal contact with our customers and the building contractors is important to us. Thanks to the manageable size of our company, we can integrate this concern into all processes. Long-standing relationships provide the basis for successful results and satisfactory solutions.

We offer our customers high-quality properties at a reasonable price. By focussing on standardised, premium-quality fit-outs, there is no need for cost-intensive retrofitting at the expense of the customer’s budget.

Our history

2024

Romano & Christen has developed into an established player in the construction industry, with a strong focus on long-term business relationships and a successful portfolio of projects.

Michael Christen starts a new chapter with his own office, while Markus Romano continues to lead the company successfully.

2020

The strain of the past few years has been enormous, pushing both of them noticeably to their limits.

Michael Christen decided to sell his remaining share in the company to Markus Romano.

It was agreed that Michael himself would choose the time to communicate and inform about this step.

2012

Michael Christen sells 90% of his shares in Romano & Christen Management AG and Romano & Christen Immobilien AG to Markus Romano.

The two continue to run Romano & Christen Generalunternehmung AG together.

1998 - 2002

There was a severe property crisis and nobody was waiting for the company. The first employee to join the team was Markus Huwiler from Sins, Romano’s former lower pen.

The pressure during the start-up period was enormous. It was often unclear how the bills could be paid. However, what kept the company going was an unshakeable belief in success and an uncompromising forward strategy. There was no choice but to continue building in order to pay yesterday’s outstanding bills.

Despite the financial challenges, the founders invested the little money they didn’t have in building a brand, advertising and a professional image. The 60-hour weeks, which had already become routine during the evening technical centre, continued seamlessly.

For more than 15 years, the founders worked virtually non-stop under high pressure, yet managed to achieve extraordinary things under the most difficult conditions and with minimal resources.

1998

When Michael Christen wanted to build a wooden house for his sister and Markus Romano actively acquired land, the collaboration deepened. This resulted in joint projects and the name Romano & Christen. Eventually, the two moved into a shared office on Horwerstrasse and founded Romano & Christen Management AG.

1995

Romano started his own business at the age of just 26. During his studies, he worked on a farmhouse in Greppen - the Neubächtelhaus.

1994

During his studies, Romano realised the first system house together with Bisang Holzbau. Even then, he was already working with Bisang, Mario De Donno, Elektro Mathis and Hugo Hofstetter, who are still regular partners today. This collaboration began over 30 years ago in Sins and still continues today.

1992

Markus Romano starts the evening technical course in Horw and meets Michael Christen.

After four and a half years, they both successfully complete the programme.
