What eins:eins Architekten BDA does

eins:eins Architekten BDA is a Hamburg-based architecture firm founded in 2006 by Julian Hillenkamp and Christoph Roselius, operating as a Partnerschaft mbB (partnership with limited professional liability) registered with the Architektenkammer Hamburg. The firm delivers full-spectrum architectural services from conceptual design through construction management, organized into five service categories: Wohnen (residential), Gewerbe (commercial), Bildung (education), Kultur/Sonderbau (culture/special construction), and Städtebau (urban planning). Core technical competencies include sustainable construction methods — specifically timber hybrid construction and the proprietary Holzmodulbauweise (wooden module) building system used for residential additions and extensions. The firm has an 8-person team and serves a primarily public-sector client base through architectural competitions and public tenders, with selective engagement of private developers and commercial clients.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and competition-driven, with new business won primarily through architectural competition entries and public procurement processes rather than traditional marketing. Documented clients include municipal governments (Stadt Tönning, Kreis Dithmarschen, Stadt Fehmarn, SBH | Schulbau Hamburg, Stadt Buchholz in der Nordheide) and private enterprises (Vonovia for residential development, Priwall Waterfront Invest GmbH & Co. KG for tourism development, nat. fine bio food GmbH for restaurant design). Revenue is generated through professional service fees tied to project scope, complexity, and contract type, with no standardized or publicly disclosed pricing model. The firm does not have external institutional investment and operates as an independent partnership.

External recognition includes the TÜV Rheinland "Planer am Bau" quality certificate awarded in June 2026 and competitionline 2025 rankings of 9th in urban planning (among ~4,500 firms) and 20th in architecture (among ~20,600 firms) in Germany. Earlier design awards include the 2008 red dot design award and fizzz "Best Corporate Design of the Year" for the nat. fine bio food project. Geographic reach currently spans at least 17 German cities, with the headquarters at Eimsbütteler Chaussee 37, Hamburg.
