What mo Architekten Ingenieure does

MO Architekten Ingenieure (legal name: MO Architekten Moritz + Krause PartGmbB) is a German architecture and engineering firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Hamburg, with additional offices in Düsseldorf and Köln. The firm is a privately held partnership (PartGmbB) jointly managed by co-founders Guido Moritz and Julia Krause, supported by a six-person leadership team expanded in 2023. It serves public-sector clients (municipalities, federal entities such as the Bundeswehr and Helmut Schmidt Universität, LH Hamburg, Stadt Bonn), institutional research bodies (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY), and major private real estate developers (Art-Invest Real Estate, Sprinkenhof GmbH, NGEG / FRANK Projektentwicklung) across projects spanning residential, education, healthcare, research, commercial, and heritage restoration sectors.

The company's core offering is full-service architectural and engineering planning focused on HOAI phases 6-9: tendering, construction monitoring, object monitoring, and property documentation. Specialized service modules include cost management, scheduling, quality control, sustainable building (DGNB/Gold standards), and renovation of existing structures. Technical capabilities include BIM methodologies and domain specialization in glulam timber construction and modular timber building methods, evidenced by award-winning projects such as the Kultur- und Sporthalle Alfter and the Null-Emissionshaus in HafenCity Hamburg. Notable project values include the €39 million Jungfernstieg/Große Bleichen renovation for LH Hamburg and the €1 billion Campus Douaumont-Kaserne for the Bundeswehr.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue under the German HOAI fee structure, with multi-year contracts priced as a percentage of construction cost and project complexity. The go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: direct engagement with project developers, municipalities, and real estate companies through public tenders, private competition entries, and professional network referrals, supplemented by industry events (Polis Convention), a newsletter, and a website portfolio. The firm operates three regional offices and references 70+ qualified architects and civil engineers supported by office workers, freelancers, and students.
