Jan Rösler Architekten

JAN RÖSLER ARCHITEKTEN is a young architecture practice based in Berlin working on education, residential and refurbishment projects. The practice testifies to a high degree of precision, a smart and honest handling of sustainable materials, and a keen sense of contexts. Innovation is cultivated through the office-based workshop where prototypes are built and tested. Excellence in design and execution is pursued through collaborating closely with the clients, consultant teams, contractors and end users. This evokes the great art of our profession: pushing for quality!

JAN RÖSLER ARCHITEKTEN defines architecture as a blend of functionality, materiality and aesthetics. It must have a purpose and a goal. But the balance can always be different: sometimes the artistic side outweighs the constructive, sometimes the other way around. What’s important is that those three aspects are kept in reciprocal balance.

The practice has built a reputation for the quality of its design, winning amongst other prices the Fritz-Höger-Preis 2014 (Gold medal), the Hannes-Meyer-Preis 2015 (Honorable Mention /2.Prize), and the HÄUSER Award 2016 (2.Prize).
