URBANSKY ARCHITECTS

What URBANSKY ARCHITECTS does

URBANSKY ARCHITEKTEN is a Berlin-based architecture and design partnership founded in 2017 by Malte Schröder and Marcus Schröder, operating as a Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mit beschränkter Berufshaftung (PartGmbB) under Schröder & Schröger. The firm employs approximately 45 people organized as an interdisciplinary team of architects, interior architects, designers, and project developers. It provides end-to-end architecture, interior design, and project development services across residential, senior living, mixed-use quarter development, and commercial workspaces in Germany, with active projects in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main, Brandenburg, Uckermark, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The firm's service portfolio spans five horizontal practice areas: Architektur & Projektentwicklung (core architecture and project development), Senior Living & Health & Care (a specialization built on Blue Zones principles for people 50+), Quartiersentwicklung (mixed-use neighborhood development), Workspaces & Commercial (office and corporate environments), and Interior Design. Notable named projects include JOH12 (26-unit multi-generational residential building, KfW55 energy standard), Jardin Hermsdorf (44 senior apartments, 50% sold within 5 months), Alte Brauerei Templin (historic brewery conversion, ~30 units), Ritter Sport Flagship Store Berlin, Summit Hall Frankfurt, and Küss55 (own-development affordable housing for 26 families). Core methodologies include Gebäudetyp E (cost-efficient, flexible building model), Hamburger Standard (sustainability without over-regulation), serial construction methods, Universal Design for accessibility, and KfW55/KfW40 energy efficiency standards.

Revenue is generated through professional-services, project-based fees with multi-year contract cadence. GTM motion is sales-led: direct engagement with enterprise clients (Alfred Ritter, DPF Group & Tertianum), mid-market developer partnerships (Private Bauherrengemeinschaften, Hofgrün Berlin), and nonprofit clients (Aktion Mensch). Distribution is domestic, supported by thought leadership via industry conferences (Expo Real, ELBA, Heuer Dialog, Expo Living & Care, Projo), trade media (Immobilien Zeitung, Care Invest, Berliner Zeitung, Livving.de), and speaking engagements. The firm holds no external investment and maintains independent partner ownership.
