lüderwaldt architekten

We are inspired by projects, irrespective of type or size, which have a wide range of what might seem to be diverging requirements, challenging us to create and construct buildings which are both functional and well designed.

Guided by a deep respect for proven methods, we also embrace openness for new ideas, passion to think outside the box and long experience in construction design, materials and the people who produce, finish and assemble these.

When planning and building, our mission is to create spaces and buildings which, while fulfilling their purpose with ease and grace, go beyond this to add a poetic quality through their use, making everyday life something more special.

Ultimately, we are only satisfied with our work once we have created a marriage of design and shapes which is precise in its accuracy and yet also transcends the ordinary to provide that unique experience.
