SWP Architects

What SWP Architects does

SWP Architekten – Beratender Ingenieur Frank Schonhoff & Partner PartGmbB is a Hannover-based German architectural partnership founded in 2011 through the merger of Planungsbüro Wiese and Kammann + Schonhoff Architekten GmbH. The firm provides full-scope architectural and consulting engineering services covering all nine HOAI service phases (Leistungsphasen 1-9), spanning feasibility studies through construction supervision, for new construction, renovation, and modernization projects.

The firm's portfolio is concentrated in healthcare facility architecture, with documented engagements across major Lower Saxony hospital systems including Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH), St. Bernward Krankenhaus Hildesheim, AGAPLESION facilities, Diakovere Annastift, and others. These projects cover specialized clinical environments — operating theaters, catheterization labs, radiology departments, intensive care units, and premium patient wards (Wahlleistungsstationen). Secondary verticals include educational buildings, commercial/office spaces, and residential projects.

The business operates as a project-based B2B professional services firm under the German PartGmbB partnership structure, with fees structured according to HOAI regulations on a per-project basis. Revenue is generated through direct client engagement and competitive bidding for both public and private sector work, with customer acquisition driven by portfolio visibility, regional press coverage, and professional referrals within the healthcare and construction sectors. The firm is led by Managing Director Frank Schonhoff with consulting engineer Stefan Allmer, operates from a single Hannover office, and serves clients exclusively in the German market.
