What habermann.decker.architekten PartGmbB does

habermann.decker.architekten PartGmbB is a German architecture firm founded in 2000 by Prof. André Habermann and Christian Decker in Lemgo, North Rhine-Westphalia, and reorganized under its current name in 2018. The firm provides architectural design and planning services across all HOAI work phases (1-9), with a portfolio dominated by public-sector projects — sports halls, schools, universities, cultural venues, and municipal buildings — alongside selective residential and commercial commissions for clients such as Hartmann Tresore AG and housing cooperatives. Service delivery is supported by a wholly-owned subsidiary, habermann.decker.generalplaner GmbH, which handles general planning coordination across all specialist disciplines.

The firm's technical capabilities center on Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology, Passivhaus and energy-efficient design, timber and timber-hybrid construction, and context-sensitive site planning. Notable technical deployments include first-time BIM implementation for BLB NRW (state building authority) projects such as the Wuppertal physics laboratory, and sustainable timber-hybrid construction for educational and sports facilities. Project acquisition is driven almost entirely by architectural competitions and public procurement: the firm claims 100+ competition successes and has consistently ranked in the competitionline top 20 nationally, with regional recognition including multiple BDA OWL awards, NRW 'Vorbildliche Bauten' honors, and shortlistings for national prizes such as the Erich-Mendelsohn-Preis.

Commercially, the firm operates as a partnership (PartGmbB) with no external capital, generating revenue through HOAI-regulated professional fees paid by public and private clients. The four-office footprint (Lemgo headquarters plus Bochum, Bielefeld, and Berlin) supports regional coverage across NRW and beyond, with the Bielefeld location operating in strategic partnership with oehme + partner gbr. Customer mix is heavily weighted toward municipal and institutional clients — including Stadt Lemgo, Stadt Karlsruhe, Stadt Münster, Stadt Reutlingen, Handwerkskammer Wiesbaden, and BLB NRW — with each project typically structured as a multi-year contract covering all HOAI phases. The firm is actively operating as of 2026 with ongoing competition wins and project commissions.
