After graduation from the Ecole Technique Superieure in Lausanne, he worked at Le Corbusier's office in Paris, France for six years. First as an architecture apprentice and later as a collaborateur. Upon his return to Switzerland in 1931, collaborating with the architect Eduard Lanz, he designed and built the Volkshaus in Biel/Bienne in 1932.
