William Ringsdorf, born in South Africa to English parents, embarked on a journey to become a beacon in architecture. His father, an emigrant in the 1960s, established a design practice that laid the foundation for William's future in architecture. The family's return to England when William was nine, living first in London then Kent, marked the beginning of his path into the architectural realm.
Starting his professional career in Germany, William quickly distinguished himself, joining the Chamber of Architects in Ludwigshafen while working for Prof. Gerd Heene. After several successful years working as an architect in Germany, William's journey took him back to England, where he dedicated three years to working on many national and international architectural projects, showcasing his versatility and innovative approach to architecture.
The establishment of WS Architects in 1999 was a testament to William's entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence. Under his guidance, the firm flourished, delivering numerous landmark projects in the residential and commercial sectors. His return to Germany in 2012 to manage large-scale construction projects in Munich highlighted his capability to oversee complex architectural endeavors.
In January 2020, William's career took a pivotal turn as he moved to Berlin to lead a landmark development on the prestigious Kurfürstendamm, further demonstrating his adeptness in managing high-profile projects. June 2021 marked the beginning of a new chapter, with William venturing into freelance architecture and launching Into The Nest, a project that combines his holistic architectural philosophy with a dedication to providing professional services to self-builders, residential developers, and offering consultancy services for construction projects.
