 | | Hardegger was an eclectic architect, using all the traditional historicist styles. |
 | | His designs were often asymmetrical and irregular in both plan and elevation, as in the church of St Martin (190810), Olten; they also incorporated painting and sculpture, for example in the Haus zum Bürgli (before 1890), at St Gall, and they emphasized regional traditions, as at the parish church of Göschenen (18989). |
 | | Hardeggers oeuvre includes restoration and conservation, such as the lengthening of the church of St Peter (18857) at Wil, and the historical investigation of indigenous art, seen in his work on the Stiftskirche, St Gall, which earned him a doctorate in 1917. |
