backgroundinformation
attitude and work approach
Press Contact HPP Architekten GmbH, Corporate Communications, T +49 211 83 84-136, [email protected]
Our architecture is defined by the undogmatic examination of a project’s particular
topics, not by continuous application of identical formal arrangements independent from
task and location. In doing so we are following an integrated work approach starting from
the urban requirements, the constructional and cultural context as well as the function of
each building typology.
From beginning up to completion each single building task lies in the responsibility of one
partner and his team. The design progress is accompanied by an intense dialogue
between all participating parties to guarantee the achievement of the optimal result.
Regular partner meetings where all projects are being discussed are the basis for the
ongoing high quality standard of our work. We aspire to create architecture of lasting
value beyond the here and now: timeless and yet clearly part of their time, innovative and
equally grounded in history.
With our local organization form and offices in the important economic areas of Germany
we guarantee special regional knowledge, quick availability and direct communication
with the local contact persons. The same service is given in our international subsidiaries.
With this attitude we have managed to complete over a 1200 buildings worldwide in the
last 85 years and we are pleased with each new building we will be able to realize in the
future.
