Über HS Architekten
MEHR üBER HS ARCHITEKTEN
Profile
Markus Hirschmüller and Harald Schindele founded the HS Architekten office in 2012. HS Architekten emerged from the previous architecture office Hoyer Schindele Hirschmüller which was active in Berlin from 1997 to 2012. Our goal is to rethink space and reinvent inspiring lifestyles. The spectrum of our work extends from customized living spaces to the conversion of the industrial monument E-Werk into a contemporary location hosting offices and events.
Our clients are, among others, assemblies of future residents on a tight budget, with high expectations regarding energy efficiency and the range of space uses, as well as individuals who aim for perfection regarding the functional and design quality. Together with developers we implement high-quality residential and commercial buildings, including in dense urban areas. For Nicolas Berggruen Holding we have been able to further develop a monument of postwar modernism, Café Moskau, transforming it into a contemporary venue while attuning its new design to the principles of the original design. We understand the Genius Loci as a complex, dynamic source of information with a strong impact on the creation of projects. Our office develops architectural hybrids which match the marking qualities and tensions of a place with the high requirements of spatial concepts.
As experts in energy planning we develop, together with our partners, refined concepts for new constructions or for the energy efficient restoration of older buildings towards active or passive house standards.
Currently, our attention is focused on the development of repeatable concepts for the creation of affordable housing with the intention to shape vibrant neighborhoods with a sustainable, long-term perspective.
We offer classic architectural services covering all project stages from conceptual design to the construction process, while also pursuing proposals for development projects for investors and private residential assemblies.
Apart from the participation in national and international competitions and expert consultancy panels, most orders of the office are direct contracts.
