What Tomorrow Partner Architects does

Morger Partner Architekten AG BSA SIA (presented in the dataset under the working name "Tomorrow Partner Architects") is a Basel-headquartered architecture firm founded in 1989, operating across Switzerland and the DACH region. The firm provides full-lifecycle architectural services — competition entry, design, urban planning, renovation, and construction supervision — for residential, cultural, educational, sports, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Core offerings include architectural design services, urban planning and development, building renovation/transformation, and competition participation; core technology is conventional architectural practice (CAD/BIM-based design) with no disclosed proprietary software.

The business model is project-based professional services. Revenue is generated through design fees, project management, and supervision fees on commissioned projects. The firm acquires work primarily via participation in open and invited architectural competitions, study contracts, and direct commissions from public-sector clients (cantons, municipalities, SBB, PUBLICA, universities) and private developers (Swiss Property AG, Pensimo Management AG, Losinger Marazzi AG). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project scope and complexity.

The firm serves a diversified client base including government agencies (Baudepartement Basel-Stadt, Pensionskasse des Bundes PUBLICA), cultural institutions (Zoo Basel, Historisches Museum Basel, University of Basel), a major financial institution (Deutsche Bundesbank), and recurring private real estate developers. It operates from Basel (legal seat and headquarters at Spitalstrasse 8, CH-4056 Basel) and a second office opened in Frankfurt am Main in April 2022 to serve German and cross-border commissions. Marketing is conducted through architectural publications (werk, bauen + wohnen, Modulør, Bauwelt, Hochparterre), exhibitions (Architektur Galerie Berlin, AIT-ArchitekturSalon Hamburg, Architekturwoche Basel), and active presence in industry competitions. Senior partners include Martin Klein and Henning König; the firm is a member of BSA and SIA professional associations.
