Mission Statement: Think Architecture is an invitation, both to ourselves and to our current and future clients, to seek out architectural challenges and to measure ourselves against professional benchmarks. “Thinking architecturally” entails designing and realizing images, from the conceptual phase through to detailed planning. It also includes the intellectual process from the moment we meet the customer and see the construction site for the first time all the way to final completion of the project. The company name is a vision, a mission and motivation all at the same time. We are an independent enterprise founded in 2008 as a joint-stock company for architecture, project development and general planning.

Vision: Our tried and tested, successful method of collaboration allows us to realize unique building projects for sophisticated customers. We strive to be among the best in the industry, which is why we take an interdisciplinary approach and work with leading specialists and firms – because only when we have a strong team can we realize our vision.

Mission: Our mission is to work for and together with our customers to realize very specific tasks at very specific locations and within very specific timeframes. During both the concept and implementation phases, we focus on guaranteeing the added value required for the customer’s project. In the process, we are guided by the following objectives: intelligent architecture, successful project development, a full range of services and proven competence.

Motivation: Each employee is responsible for their unique field of expertise and possesses the competence required for this, allowing us to promote individual professional develop-ment. We’ve dedicated ourselves to architecture because we have a passion for what we do and hold our work to the highest standards. This is the defining feature of our work, as well as of the relationship we have with our customers.
