Stockwerk 1 GmbH

What Stockwerk 1 GmbH does

Stockwerk 1 GmbH is a privately held architecture and interior design firm headquartered in Munich, Germany, founded in 2002. The firm operates across all HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) service phases, delivering integrated architecture, interior architecture, BIM planning, visualization/VR, event and trade fair design, sustainability consulting, and fire protection planning. Its client base spans residential, commercial, industrial, cultural, and event-driven projects, with a notable portfolio of enterprise-grade engagements for clients including BMW Group, Volkswagen AG, MAN, Telefónica Deutschland, Marc O'Polo, METRO, SONOS, LEDVANCE/Osram, and German Bionic.

The firm's technical backbone is BIM (Building Information Modeling) using Autodesk Revit with Open-BIM coordination across structural, HVAC/electrical, and trade disciplines, supplemented by in-house VR and 2D/3D rendering capabilities. Since 2013, BIM has been used consistently across all planning, and the firm pairs this with certified expertise in fire protection (BYAK-registered planner) and building biology (IBN-certified). Major cultural projects include the Gasteig HP8 Isarphilharmonie (1,800-seat venue) and the temporary pavilion at Olympiapark München.

The business model is project-based professional services billing under HOAI, with revenue generated through direct client commissions, referrals, and competitive bids (Wettbewerbe). Distribution is anchored by a long-term lead-agency partnership with ZIBERT + FRIENDS for event work and direct relationships with enterprise clients for permanent construction. The firm operates as a 10-person boutique studio with supplemental freelance architects and specialist consultants, founder-owned and independently operated, with no external investors or parent company.
