ArchitektArchitekten

ArchitektArchitekten is a contemporary German architecture practice founded in 2001 by the partnership of Stefan Müller and Lena Fischer. The firm is headquartered in Berlin and has expanded its portfolio to include projects across Germany, Austria, and the Baltic States. From its inception, ArchitektArchitekten has placed a strong emphasis on sustainable design, integrating renewable energy systems, green roofs, and natural ventilation into both public and private buildings. The practice is known for its minimalist aesthetic, often employing geometric forms and large glass facades to connect interior spaces with the surrounding urban context.

Key projects include the Green Line mixed‑use development in Dresden (2010), the renovation of the historic Library of Jena (2014), and the award‑winning Office Complex in Hamburg (2018). In addition to new construction, the firm specializes in adaptive reuse of industrial buildings, such as the conversion of the former railway workshop in Munich into a residential complex in 2016.

ArchitektArchitekten’s work has been featured in international design journals such as ArchDaily, Dezeen, and Architektur & Design. The firm received the German Architecture Award for Sustainability in 2019 and has been shortlisted for the Pritzker Architecture Prize three times. The practice maintains a small team of architects, engineers, and project managers, allowing it to pursue both ambitious scale and meticulous detail in its projects.
