Hild und K

What Hild und K does

Hild und K (legal entity HildundK MünchenBerlin GmbH) is a privately held German architecture practice founded by Andreas Hild and led by Geschäftsführer Dionys Ottl together with Büropartner Matthias Haber. The firm operates from two offices — its Munich headquarters and a Berlin office opened in 2013 (relocated to Kärntener Str. 8 in May 2019) — with approximately 35 employees as of 2026. Its work centers on architecture, urban planning, and the renovation/adaptive reuse of existing buildings ('Bauen im Bestand'), supported by a documented Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology applied both to new construction and to existing stock, including a 2025 BIM-Preis Bayern win for the Neue Pinakothek digital twin.

The firm's portfolio spans public-sector social infrastructure (notably the 730-bed Übernachtungsschutz Lotte-Branz-Strasse emergency shelter for Landeshauptstadt München), affordable housing (IBA'27 Quartier Böckinger Straße in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen for SWSG; Zschokkestraße WA 3 Ost in Munich for Münchner Wohnen; Grünes Haus am Hohentorsplatz in Bremen for GEWOBA), hospitality and adaptive industrial reuse (Hotel Werk 17 and Umbau Werk 1 in Munich's Werksviertel; Schloss Hohenkammer renovation for Münchener Rück), and educational and cultural facilities (TU München Forschungsinstitut B.F.T.S., neue München Klinik Harlaching facade). Recent honors include BDA Preis Bayern 2025, DAM Preis 2026 finalist, and EUmies Award nominee. Strategic partners include Uniola Landschaftsarchitektur and Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur for joint landscape/architecture bids.

The firm's business model is professional-services based: revenue is generated through architectural design fees, urban planning commissions, and competition prizes, with fees typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or hourly consulting rates. New project acquisition runs primarily through architectural competitions (e.g., 1st prize Molkenmarkt Berlin, November 2025) and direct commissions from public-sector clients (Landeshauptstadt München, SWSG) and private/semi-public developers (GEWOBA, Münchner Wohnen, OTEC). The practice is differentiated by a philosophy of continuing building history through reuse and circular-economy approaches; partners maintain academic chairs (Andreas Hild at TU München since October 2013, Matthias Haber at BHT since October 2023) that reinforce its teaching, research, and recruitment pipeline.
