What akyol kamps does

akyol kamps, now operating as kamps+ since June 2025, is a privately held German architecture firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Hamburg. The firm delivers architectural design services — including planning, facade design, and construction supervision — across new construction and renovation projects. Its work is anchored by a stated design philosophy, 'Vernunft Kontext Identität' (Reason Context Identity), which emphasizes contextually integrated, reason-based solutions that generate unique building identity. The portfolio spans educational facilities, residential developments, commercial and office campuses, and public-sector buildings, with active markets in the Hamburg and Bremen metropolitan regions plus selective entries across Northern Germany and beyond.

The firm secures work through two principal channels: direct commissions from developers, institutions, and public bodies, and participation in architectural competitions (both invited and open). First-prize competition wins include Oberstufenhaus Gymnasium Eppendorf (2015) and Neue Mitte Altona (2016), and the practice has earned industry recognition including the German Design Award (Winner 2018, Nominee 2018), Deutscher Lichtdesign-Preis (2017), BDA Hamburg Architektur Preis (2016), Media Architecture Award (2016), and Deutscher Wohnungsbau (2019). A long-standing academic partnership with Hochschule 21 supports recurring Werkberichte presentations and AAC workshops since 2017.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees negotiated per commission, with no public pricing disclosed. The firm operates with approximately six employees and supplements its visibility through an active Instagram presence, publications in architectural media such as the Architektur Jahrbuch and Baunetz Wissen, and participation in industry events including Tag der Architektur. Operating status is active under the kamps+ brand, with recent milestones including the OTTO GOeast office complex completion (April 2024), Stadtresidenz Harvestehude topping-out (May 2023), Habichtstraße facade completion (May 2025), and the Hochschule 21 lecture hall building (May 2025).
