I Am Interior Architects

What I Am Interior Architects does

I Am Interior Architects (legal name: iam interior.architects.munich) is a Munich-based, founder-led interior architecture firm operating as a sole proprietorship under Dipl. Ing. (FH) Innenarchitektin Julia Schneider. Founded in 2014 and structured as a boutique practice of approximately 13 named professionals, the firm delivers end-to-end interior architecture services across Leistungsphasen (LPH) 1–8 — from initial concept through execution supervision — for corporate offices, high-end residential, retail/showroom, hotel and gastronomy, exhibition/cultural venues, and children's facilities. Its technical differentiation lies in three proprietary specializations: heritage-protected building integration (Denkmalschutz), multispace office concepts that balance concentration, communication and retreat (exemplified by the 10,000 m² Webasto headquarters), and multisensory exhibition design integrating olfactory, acoustic and haptic elements (e.g., the 800 m² Diözesanmuseum Freising project across seven rooms).

The firm monetizes exclusively through professional-services fees quoted on a project basis — no public pricing, no recurring SaaS or subscription model. GTM is enterprise field sales via direct client engagement, supported by an award-winning portfolio (ICONIC Award 2025, Bayerischer Architekturpreis 2024, Frame Awards 2025 Shortlist, multiple German Design Awards) that drives inbound referrals. Operations span Germany with a secondary Düsseldorf office for quality assurance and Switzerland, anchored by repeat engagements with Davos Klosters Bergbahnen AG across multiple hotel, restaurant and resort projects. Customer logos span Webasto, GoPro, Alteryx, Capgemini, Specialized, DEMOS Wohnbau, Investa, Hammer AG, Diözesanmuseum Freising, MIXT Kinderkunsthaus and others — a deliberately diversified enterprise and institutional book with no disclosed external funding and no parent or subsidiary structure.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Henn Architekten: Munich-headquartered architecture and interior design practice with deep corporate workplace, cultural, and education portfolio — directly competes for Munich enterprise office mandates but operates at meaningfully larger scale.

Direct peers

• blocher partners: Stuttgart/Mannheim interior architecture and design studio delivering workspace, retail, and hospitality interiors in Germany — closely comparable German boutique with similar multisector model.
• Ippolito Fleitz Group: Stuttgart-based identity-driven interior architecture and design studio of comparable size, working across retail, hospitality, workplace, and cultural sectors in Germany and internationally — closely aligned in scale, multi-sector scope, and award-winning positioning.
• Studio Aisslinger: Berlin-based design studio covering interior architecture, furniture, and brand environments for hotels, offices, and retail — comparable German boutique profile with strong design-award positioning.
• KINZO: Berlin-based interior architecture firm specializing in workplace, retail, hospitality, and exhibition design for European enterprise clients — comparable boutique size and similar multisector project portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Snøhetta: Internationally recognized architecture and interior design practice with cultural, hospitality, and workplace projects — comparable on cultural/exhibition capability, but operates at a substantially larger and more international scale.
• Gensler: Global design and architecture firm with a strong workplace, hospitality, and retail practice — competes for the same enterprise interior design RFPs as iam but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• HPP Architekten: Large established German architecture firm offering interior and workplace design alongside broader building architecture — a broader incumbent that competes for enterprise office fit-outs but is not specialized to iam's boutique positioning.

Emerging players

• Studio Yabu Pushelberg: Toronto/New York-based interior design firm with strong hospitality and luxury residential portfolio — comparable in scope to iam's high-end residential and hotel work, and a useful benchmark for cross-border boutique expansion.
• raumlabor: Berlin-based architecture collective working on experimental interior, exhibition, and public-space projects — partial overlap with iam's cultural/exhibition niche but with a more research-oriented profile.
