What GLASS KRAMER LÖBBERT ARCHITEKTEN BDA does

Glass Kramer Löbbert Architekten BDA is a Berlin-based architecture firm founded in 2006 by Johan Kramer and Johannes Löbbert, both former architects at Staab Architekten, with Prof. Gisela Glass as a partner. The firm specializes in public-sector architecture and general planning services for federal, state, and municipal clients across Germany, with occasional international assignments (e.g., Deutsche Botschaft Wien, private residence in Messini, Greece). Its portfolio covers the full HOAI service spectrum (phases 1-9) across research and laboratory facilities, universities and educational campuses, schools and sports halls, cultural institutions (museums, opera houses, theaters), healthcare buildings, and residential developments. Verified clients include Robert Koch-Institut, Charité, Helmholtz-Zentrum Jülich, DLR, Max-Delbrück-Centrum, Bundesministerium der Finanzen, and the Land Berlin, with a track record of first-prize competition wins.

The firm differentiates through competition-based project acquisition and a sustainability-oriented design approach, including wood-hybrid construction, BNB Gold/Silver certifications, and contextual urban integration. Notable accolades include the BDA Hans-Schäfers-Preis 2010, the Deutscher Architekturpreis 2015, the Preis des deutschen Stahlbaus 2014, and BNB Gold (2022) and BNB Silver (2025) sustainability certifications. The firm operates as a privately held partnership (Glass Kramer Löbbert Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH, HRB 103997 B) with 5 employees, headquartered at Schlesische Straße 27, Berlin-Kreuzberg, and is a member of the Bund Deutscher Architekten (BDA).

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services billed under the HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) fee structure, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm supplements its internal capacity through long-standing partnerships with engineering and landscape architecture firms (big Architekten, Ingenieurbüro Kraft, bbz Landschaftsarchitekten, Prof. Uta Graff, Levin Monsigny), enabling it to take on larger consortium projects. Distribution is direct via German public procurement procedures, with no intermediary channels.
