Raumwerk

What Raumwerk does

Raumwerk Gesellschaft für Architektur und Stadtplanung mbH is a Frankfurt-headquartered, privately held German architecture and urban planning practice founded in 2000, operating across three offices in Frankfurt am Main, Düsseldorf, and Hamburg. The firm offers an integrated, interdisciplinary service portfolio spanning three practice areas—urban planning (Stadtplanung), architecture (Architektur), and interior design (Innenarchitektur)—delivered under German HOAI Leistungsphasen 1-9 service standards. Its core technical capabilities center on sustainable building methods, including wood-hybrid skeleton construction (Hafenspitze Mainz), modular timber housing using Polish-manufactured UNIHOUSE prefabricated modules ('Am Industriehof' Frankfurt, 160 units), three-story prefabricated lightweight timber additions preserving existing structures (Otto-Hahn-Schule), and circular-economy approaches in interior design (ZUKUNFTSWERK #03, 2026).

The firm generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, with new work secured via three channels: competitive architectural and urban planning competitions (where Raumwerk has secured multiple first-prize wins including Hotel Heidelberg, Campus Bundesstraße Hamburg, and Hauptbahnhof Dortmund Nord), direct commissions from established enterprise clients, and referrals from completed international projects. Customer segments are organized horizontally across Public/Institutional clients (municipal governments, federal agencies such as BImA, educational and cultural institutions), Corporate/Enterprise clients (Audi AG, Porsche, Adidas, Deutsche Bank, FC Ingolstadt 04, Leica), and Real Estate Developers (ABG Frankfurt Holding, Garbe Wohnbau). The client base spans automotive brand experience, financial services, residential and commercial real estate, educational facilities, sports venues, and cultural institutions.

Raumwerk is led by managing partners Sonja Moers (Geschäftsführende Gesellschafterin) and Thorsten Wagner (Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter), with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds. Its strategic positioning rests on interdisciplinary talent, competition-winning credentials, premium enterprise brand experience (notably multi-city Audi rollouts), and a commitment to sustainability and modular construction methods, supported by international recognition including the German Design Award and Iconic Award.
