Architecture
In times of digitalization, we focus on innovative building materials and new technologies to make the management of existing buildings future-proof. Whether it's energy-efficient renovation, expansion, extension, or conversion - we offer tailor-made solutions in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. Building on existing structures is the future. We support your project from the inventory assessment to execution - all from a single source.
Our scope of work ranges from urban planning designs and district development to residential buildings, care homes, and public buildings such as educational institutions, cultural buildings, and restaurants. We create concepts that are not only functional but also sustainable and future-oriented. With creative ideas, courage, and a deep understanding of the location, we develop projects that preserve the character of the existing buildings while transforming them for the future.
A particular focus is placed on creating pleasant spatial atmospheres using sustainable materials and light. The goal is to design the building's identity through form, material, detail, and light in a timeless and coherent way. We always consider the specific requirements of the site and the history of the existing structure. Our work always starts with a thorough analysis of the project and its surroundings. We integrate functional requirements, create durable and sustainable constructions, and work closely with specialized engineers. Continuous cost control and timely planning are essential parts of every project.
Sustainability is a core component of our approach. We rely on environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient solutions that reduce the ecological footprint while creating a healthy, comfortable environment. Our goal is to ensure an integrated and collaborative working relationship throughout the entire lifecycle of the building.
"Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a collaborative working methodology that consistently captures, manages, and exchanges the relevant information and data of a building over its lifecycle based on digital models. It ensures transparent communication between the stakeholders and facilitates further processing." - Stufenplan Digitales Planen und Bauen (BMVI)
A key difference from traditional building culture is the holistic approach to a building's lifecycle - from concept development to planning, construction, use, and final deconstruction. By continuously documenting information in every phase and making it available as machine-readable data for subsequent steps, the way information is collected and maintained is revolutionized. This promotes circular construction and demonstrates how architecture sustainably closes the loop.
