Partner | Board Member, CCHE La Vallée
French and of Turkish origin, Funda Kozanoglu was born and raised in Paris. After a spell at the Beaux-Arts, she found her way into architecture. Interested in diversity, she spent two years in Brazil to complete her thesis on the urban organisation of São Paulo. Through capoeira, she discovered and was uplifted by the Brazilian culture. Fascinated by the details of architecture, she decided to settle in Switzerland and joined the CCHE office. She started in architectural management and then moved on to construction management. Convinced that the art of building is the main tool of quality architecture, she uses her dual expertise for demanding projects. The diversity of the programmes carried out has allowed her to broaden her knowledge. For five years, she has been involved in the realisation of projects in Le Brassus, working with local and international stakeholders. In 2022, she became an associate at CCHE La Vallée SA, alongside Marie Ståhl. Professionally fulfilled, she finds strength and serenity in the cello, painting, horse riding, and climbing. Considerate and fair, she creates relationships based on trust, transparency, and respect.
