After earning a degree from ETH Zurich in 1964, she worked in Paris, London, and New York City with Mitchell-Giurgola from 1966 to 1972.[2] That year, she founded her own agency in Basel and partnered with Livio Vacchini from 1995 to 2001.[2]

Gmür was also a professor at ETH Zurich from 1979 to 1985.[2]

An exhibition of her projects was displayed at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2014,[3] the same year in which a similar exhibition was held at the Galerie d'Architecture in Paris.[4]
