Schrammen Architects BDA

What Schrammen Architects BDA does

Schrammen Architekten BDA GmbH & Co. KG is a German architecture and urban planning practice headquartered in Mönchengladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia. Founded in 1988 by Dr.-Ing. Burkhard Schrammen, the firm operates as a founder-controlled GmbH & Co. KG with no external institutional investment or public listing. It serves property developers, municipal and corporate clients, and nonprofit organizations, delivering architectural design, urban planning, and general planning services across residential, commercial, office, and specialized-building typologies.

The practice's portfolio includes mixed-use complexes (Roermonder Höfe, Schillerquartier), residential quarters with social infrastructure (Quartier am Eickerner Markt, ~130 units with daycare; Alte Gärtnerei, 50 units), corporate headquarters (Stadtwerke Meerbusch Willich, Vanderlande), and competition-driven civic and urban-design projects (6-Seen-Wedau, Connect 45, Feuerwache Süd Neuss Hoisten). Its work is differentiated by BDA membership, Dutch-influenced urban-planning principles integrating living and working, and a recurring focus on sustainability, flexibility, and human-centered design. Visible accolades include the German Design Award (2020, 2024), the ICONIC Award 2021, the BDA Recognition Award 2020, and the Industrial Architecture Award 2000.

Commercially, Schrammen is a project-based professional services firm. Revenue derives from architectural and planning fees on individual commissions, acquired primarily through competitions, direct client engagement, referrals, and visibility generated at regional industry events (Expo Real, Polis Convention). The firm maintains a sub-50-employee team of architects, urban planners, engineers, and drafters and operates in the Lower Rhine region with cross-border activity into the Netherlands (Roermond). Distribution is direct rather than channel-mediated, and pricing is quote-driven with no publicly disclosed fee schedules.
