Gruppeomp Architektengesellschaft MbH

What Gruppeomp Architektengesellschaft MbH does

Gruppeomp Architektengesellschaft mbH BDA is a privately held German architecture and urban-planning firm founded by three partners — Oliver Ohlenbusch, Sven Martens, and Oliver Platz — all Dipl.-Ing. Architekten BDA. The firm is structured around 9 partners (3 founding and 6 associated), supported by approximately 20–30 architects and professionals across three offices in Rastede (registered headquarters, Amtsgericht Oldenburg HRB 204189), Bremen (Hafenstraße 3, relocated May 2022), and Hannover (Kriegerstraße 40). Its core services cover the full HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten) performance-phases spectrum — from preliminary design through construction management — across residential, educational, civic, religious, and commercial building typologies, with particular emphasis on sustainable, climate-adapted, and timber construction.

The firm pursues projects predominantly through regulated public procurement (VgV-Verfahren, Realisierungswettbewerbe) and direct commissions, with a documented track record of first-prize wins in architecture competitions across Lower Saxony and Bremen. Its methodology is described as a discursive, collaborative design approach that integrates narrative, emotional, functional, and economic dimensions, with deep expertise in CO2-efficient construction, adaptive building systems, and sufficiency-based planning. Notable built work includes Stiftungsdorf Ellener Hof Baufeld 1 (social-ecological timber housing in Bremen), Wohnbebauung Pelikanviertel Hannover (FIABCI prix d'excellence Gold 2016), and modular highway rest-stop WCs for the State Building Authority.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional-services fees under regulated HOAI schedules; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm serves a diversified mix of public-sector clients (Stadt Oldenburg, Sondervermögen Immobilien und Technik der Stadtgemeinde Bremen, Staatliches Baumanagement Weser-Leine and Lüneburg), institutional/nonprofit clients (Bremer Heimstiftung, Neuapostolische Kirche regional bodies, Leuphana Universität), and private developers (Gundlach, Theo Gerlach, hanova, Aurelis, Überseeinsel, Am Klagesmarkt Immobilien). Ownership remains concentrated among the three Geschäftsführer with no disclosed external investors, and operating geography is concentrated in northern Germany.
