What buerohauser does

buerohauser is a privately held German multidisciplinary architecture and planning firm founded in 1980 and headquartered in Altensteig, Baden-Württemberg, with a second office in Berlin. Operating as a GmbH & Co. KG under family ownership (Gabriela Hauser and Ruben Hauser as managing directors), the firm employs approximately 40 people spanning architecture, interior architecture, structural engineering, urban planning, general planning, and energy consulting. Core specializations include timber construction (Holzbau) with over 25 years of expertise, sustainable building practices including DGNB certification support, and adaptive reuse of existing building stock.

The firm serves a diversified client base across five primary verticals: public-sector municipalities (community halls, schools, fire stations, administrative buildings), hospitality (hotels, restaurants), healthcare (specialist clinic pavilions), education, and residential development including multi-family housing. Notable projects include the Eisberghalle Nagold (modular timber sports hall), the Erikson Hotel (hospitality interior redesign), and the Rosenplatz-Quartier in Altensteig. The technical differentiator is integrated Generalplanung — combining architecture, interior design, and structural engineering under one roof to minimize interface losses — supported by modular timber prefab methods that compress on-site construction to one to two days.

The business model is project-based professional services with fees determined through direct consultation, architectural competitions, and referrals. No public pricing is disclosed. The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, leveraging a content-marketing ecosystem (corporate website, 'neues bauen' podcast, 'Neues aus dem Maschinenraum' newsletter, LinkedIn, Instagram) for top-of-funnel visibility, complemented by direct enterprise engagement with municipalities and private developers. Geographic scope is concentrated in Baden-Württemberg with recent expansion into Berlin.
