Thomas Müller Ivan Reimann Architekten

What Thomas Müller Ivan Reimann Architekten does

Thomas Müller Ivan Reimann Architekten is a Berlin-based architecture practice founded in 1988, operating with approximately 27 employees across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. The firm provides integrated architecture, urban planning, sustainability consulting, and historical-restoration services, with a project portfolio spanning public-sector, research, education, residential, and corporate-campus segments. Its core technical capability is a BIM-integrated design process executed to four concurrent sustainability certification standards — DGNB Platinum, LEED Gold, BNB Silver, and QNG — which qualifies it for the most demanding German federal and EU institutional tenders.

The practice's notable projects include SHED Campus Berlin, Berlin Decks (a corporate campus anchored by Mercedes-Benz/MBition), Erweiterungsbau BMI (an extension to the German Federal Ministry of the Interior), the Copernicus Quartier in Antwerp (a circa €100M development delivered with partner Jaspers-Eyers), and the Max Planck EVAN research facility won through a VgV public procurement procedure. Recognition includes the Deutscher Naturstein-Preis 2026 for material craftsmanship. The international engagements signal a deliberate diversification beyond the Berlin/DACH core.

The business model is project-based: revenue is generated through fee contracts on long-cycle, multi-year institutional builds, won either via competitive public procurement (VgV procedures for federal and research clients) or direct commissions. Pricing is anchored to standard architectural fee scales (HOAI in Germany), with margin profile shaped by certification complexity and JV structures on cross-border work. The mix of federal, research, and corporate anchors provides some diversification but exposes the firm to public-sector budget cycles and milestone-billing lumpiness.
