abj Architekt:innen

With a balanced mix of passion and reason, we have been developing site-specific and meaningful architecture since 1989. Our committed, multicultural, interdisciplinary and experienced team works on supra-regional projects of the most diverse sizes, both in existing buildings and in new construction from performance phase 1-9. What unites them is the focus on education, housing and special buildings.

  • People and collaboration are at the heart of what we do. And that doesn’t happen by chance. We actively shape it through shared rituals, open exchange, and space for everything in between. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet; sometimes in the spotlight, sometimes in retreat. We work with openness, honesty and humanity – with each other as well as with our clients and partners. And we’re not afraid to show vulnerability when needed, knowing it helps us grow stronger together.

  • We are architects by conviction. Profit-driven architecture has no place here. We design for people and communities, grounded in real needs. Every decision must be guided by the life that will unfold within the spaces we create. To achieve the best possible solutions, we research, question and listen. Users, context and purpose set the direction. A love of detail, quality and outstanding design shapes the way we work.

  • We believe in »sharing is caring« rather than »knowledge is power«. We embrace new ideas and speak openly about successes as well as mistakes and pitfalls. That strengthens both the joy and cohesion within our team and makes our projects tangibly better – in use, design and quality. In this way, we continuously expand our collective intelligence. The knowledge we gain is shared with one another and beyond. Always striving for the best possible outcomes: for the benefit of communities, architecture and the future.

  • Personal and professional growth are not a »nice-to-have« for us − they are part of everyday life. We create time, space and support for learning so that everyone has the opportunity to develop further. We trust one another with responsibility and give each other the freedom to explore and try things out. That inspires us, motivates us and carries us into the future.

  • Great architecture does not emerge from a single perspective. Different voices, ways of working, cultures and energies are an essential part of who we are. For us, diversity is not a contradiction, but a strength. It enriches ideas and brings spaces to life.

Learning as a lifelong process

In addition to designing and building, it is important to research and develop in order to deepen one's own knowledge and grow from it. According to the motto "You don't have to know everything. You just have to know who to ask." we attach great importance to training specialists within our team and learning from each other.

Theme-Labs

With our fire protection, acoustics or BIM labs (and many more), we ensure both the continuous development of our projects and the personal growth of our team. We exchange knowledge with each other in different formats on a weekly, monthly and annual basis.

Office scenes

You won't find classic nine-to-five, off-the-peg architecture or rigid thought patterns with us. Rather, we strive for creativity, constant development and the opportunity to live out one's individuality freely. Our offices create the right atmosphere for this.

Social Engagement

We like good deeds instead of gifts.

Since 1999, our business partners have been left empty-handed at Christmas time - and for good reason. Our commitment extends far beyond our projects. Instead of investing in gift baskets, we support regional campaigns and initiatives whose continuity and success are close to our hearts.
