What APB. Schneider Andresen Pommée Architects And Urban Planners does

APB. Schneider Andresen Pommée Architects and Urban Planners (legal name: APB. Schneider Andresen Pommée Architekten und Stadtplaner PartG mbB, also doing business as APB. Architekten BDA) is a Hamburg-based architecture and urban planning partnership founded in 1974 and led by three named partners: Moritz Schneider, Sönke Andresen, and Jean Pommée. The firm offers full-scope architectural services spanning competition entry through construction supervision (HOAI Leistungsphasen 1-9), across six verticals: residential (Wohnen), commercial/office (Büro), education (Bildung), healthcare (Gesundheit), cultural/religious (Kultur), and urban planning (Stadtplanung). Its portfolio includes large-scale, certified developments such as the LEED Gold-certified Bürogebäude Alsterufer, the DGNB Platinum-certified VBG-Hauptzentrale, the €190M Asklepios Klinikum Barmbek, and the Wohnungsbau Vogelweide (147 units, WohnbauPreis Hamburg 2023).

The firm operates as a boutique practice with 11-50 employees and generates revenue through project-based professional services fees structured under the HOAI fee framework, with individual project budgets ranging from approximately €2.8M to over €190M. Go-to-market is anchored in winning open and invited architectural competitions and in long-standing direct commissions from repeat clients including public-sector entities (Sprinkenhof GmbH, SBH Schulbau Hamburg, Land Hessen), healthcare operators (Asklepios Kliniken Hamburg), and residential developers (Bauverein der Elbgemeinden eG, Hamburg Team Projektentwicklung, Allianz Real Estate). Marketing is primarily relationship-driven and portfolio-driven, supported by BDA professional association membership and a track record of industry recognition (Deutscher Städtebaupreis 2004 and 2010, WohnbauPreis Hamburg 2023, Rudolf Lodders Preis 2023, BDA Studienpreis 2022).

Geographic focus is Northern Germany (Hamburg metropolitan region, Schleswig-Holstein) with active bidding extending into Hannover, Kiel, Potsdam, Schwerin, and other federal states. The firm is independently owned by its three partners with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, subsidiaries, or external funding rounds.
