Code Unique Architekten

What Code Unique Architekten does

Code Unique Architekten (legal entity: CODE UNIQUE ARCHITEKTEN GMBH) is a privately held German architecture firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Dresden's Neustadt district. The firm was established by architects Martin Boden-Peroche and Volker Giezek, with Peter Jarisch joining in 2005 and being appointed Managing Director in 2018. As a GmbH owned entirely by its founding shareholders, the firm operates without external investment or parent-company ownership.

The firm delivers full-service architectural planning across all phases of the HOAI fee structure, including new construction, conversion/renovation, heritage-sensitive restoration, interior design, exhibition/trade-fair design, expert witness and jury services, and BIM total coordination. Its technology stack centers on Building Information Modeling for integrated digital project coordination, supplemented by Vectorworks CAD, SketchUp 3D visualization, and Adobe Creative Suite. Notable completed projects include CityCube Berlin (23,500 m² congress hall for Messe Berlin GmbH), HafenCity Universität Hamburg, Universitätsklinikum Frankfurt Psychiatriecampus, Deutsche Nationalbibliothek Leipzig, the DGNB Gold-certified Jägermeister warehouse in Kamenz, and Stadtarchiv Greifswald.

The business model is professional-services based, with fees calculated under HOAI as a percentage of construction costs and project complexity, billed across multi-year contract phases. Revenue is acquired primarily through open and invited architectural competitions and direct commissions, with no intermediary distribution. Customer segments are concentrated in the German public sector (federal, state, and municipal government) and educational institutions, with selective private enterprise engagements. The firm operates domestically across Germany from a single Dresden office, with a 51+ member multidisciplinary team spanning architects, interior designers, civil engineers, BIM coordinators, and administrative staff.
