Moser Architects

What Moser Architects does

Moser Architekten GmbH is a privately held German architecture firm headquartered in Lörrach, Baden-Württemberg, led by Managing Director Jürgen Moser (Freier Architekt BDA / dwb) with a 16-person multidisciplinary team. Operating since at least 2005, the firm delivers full-service architectural design — including new construction, renovation, and construction supervision — across residential towers, multi-family housing, schools and kindergartens, healthcare facilities, commercial offices, and public buildings. Active projects span from 2005 through 2025, with work concentrated in the Dreiländereck region (Germany-Switzerland-France border area) and one cross-border project in St. Louis, France.

The firm's technical capability centers on conventional architectural design augmented by parametric design methods, as demonstrated on the Besucherzentrum Biosphärengebiet in Todtnau, where a circular extrusion of an archetypal Black Forest house cross-section was generated using variables such as topography, sun orientation, setback distances, and spatial program. The practice emphasizes sustainable building, with documented execution under DGNB certification, KfW 55 and KfW 40 efficiency standards, and timber construction (Holzbauweise). Notable building typologies include a 17-story residential tower in Lörrach, a kindergarten in Schopfheim, a corporate Smart Office headquarters for Sedus Stoll AG in Dogern, and a residential complex for people with disabilities at St. Josefshaus Herten.

Commercially, Moser Architekten operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model. Revenue is generated through design fees, project management fees, and construction oversight under the German HOAI fee structure, with clients acquired via direct commissions, public tenders, architectural competitions (Wettbewerbe), and referrals. The firm pursues larger commissions through Arbeitsgemeinschaften (ArGe) joint ventures with peer practices including Wilhelm und Hovenbitzer and Büro Mulder Zonderland of Zürich, and has co-established a joint general planning company (hovenbitzer | moser | architekten und generalplaner GmbH). Customer mix spans municipal governments, housing cooperatives, educational institutions, healthcare non-profits, corporate clients, and private individuals, with no public revenue disclosure and no external investors identified.
