Schenk Fleischhaker Architekten

What Schenk Fleischhaker Architekten does

Schenk Fleischhaker Architekten is a Hamburg-based architectural services firm operating as a German partnership (Partnerschaft mbB), founded in 2000 and headquartered at Stahltwiete 19a, Hamburg-Wandsbek. The firm delivers architectural planning, project management, and urban design services with a specialization in residential construction — particularly affordable housing for public-sector clients and sustainable timber-frame construction (Holzbau). Its core differentiator is expertise in prefabricated timber wall elements produced in partnership with regional carpentry firms (e.g., Zimmererei Schäfer for the Holzbau Neukirchen project), along with a track record of competition placements and coverage in regional press such as Hamburger Abendblatt.

The firm's primary client base is housing associations and public housing companies in the Hamburg metropolitan area — most notably SAGA (Hamburger Siedlungs-Gesellschaft), for whom it has delivered multiple residential projects including RBO Süd Marckmannstraße and Freihafenstraße. Secondary clients include private residential customers and property developers such as evoreal. Go-to-market is direct, project-based engagement driven by portfolio reputation, competition wins (1st place Hamburg-Bergedorf, 3rd place Paderborn, 3rd place Tabakquartier Bremen), and participation in industry events such as the polis Convention. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows standard architectural fee structures negotiated per project.

Geographically, the firm is concentrated in Hamburg, Northern Germany, and Schleswig-Holstein, with a recent extension into Bremen (Tabakquartier competition) and Bavaria (Lohhof-Süd in Unterschleißheim). The firm is independently owned and operated by its partners, with no external investment, no disclosed headcount, and no public revenue figures. It is actively hiring a project-leading architect and is positioning itself as a thought leader on affordable housing through the 'Hamburg Standard' initiative.
