studiofreunde
Minimal Interventions. Enduring Spaces.
WHO ARE WE?
studiofreunde is a collective of architects, planners, and consultants with combined experience in design, planning, and construction management from established architecture firms in Munich, Berlin, and Amsterdam.
We oversee projects of various scales – from residential buildings to unique custom structures and from the initial goal-finding phase to completion.
Our competencies complement each other. As a collective, we work flexibly and efficiently – assembling the right team for each task.
COLLABORATION ON EQUAL FOOTING
We develop projects from the concrete requirements of location, budget, and use. Clear concepts, precise planning, and careful implementation form the foundation of our work.
We work in a structured, transparent, and solution-oriented manner. Clear processes and communication create security throughout all project phases.
Our focus is on functional, appealing, and economically considered architecture. Where possible, we work with existing structures and utilize available resources. We make as few interventions as necessary and as many as sensible – with the goal of creating enduring and future-proof spaces.
