What Gewers Pudewill does

Gewers Pudewill is a Berlin-based architecture and general-planning firm founded in 2007 by Georg Gewers and Henry Pudewill, operating as an independent partnership with 11-50 employees. The firm delivers architectural design, masterplanning, and full general-planning services under German HOAI standards (LPH 1-9), covering commercial workplaces, research and laboratory facilities, residential complexes, and cultural and public buildings. Project work spans Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Regensburg, and other German cities, with selected international engagements in China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon.

The firm has completed over 60 named projects and accumulated 20+ industry awards, including first-prize competition wins (Mecca masterplan 2012 against Norman Foster; Marquard & Bahls HQ; Mercatorviertel; Labels Blue) and multiple German Design Award and Iconic Awards recognition between 2014 and 2020. Sustainability credentials include DGNB Gold (Koryféum, DSTRCT.Berlin), DGNB Silver (Mercedes-Benz Vertrieb Deutschland), and LEED Platinum certifications, positioning the practice for ESG-mandated corporate commissions.

Gewers Pudewill generates revenue through professional-services fees governed by HOAI on a project-by-project basis, with no standardized public pricing. Go-to-market is enterprise-field-sales in nature: projects are won through open and restricted design competitions, direct corporate and government engagement, and consortium leadership for large general-planning commissions. Enterprise and government clients include Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Sony Music Group, Carl Zeiss AG, BfR, Flughafen Berlin-Brandenburg, BSH Hausgeräte, Centogene AG, Marquard & Bahls, Berlin Hyp, Porsche, and REWAG. Technology stack is conventional architectural design tooling with no proprietary AI/ML platforms disclosed.
