What Henning Shin Architekten Partg Mbb does

Henning Shin Architekten PartG mbB is a Düsseldorf-Flingern-based architectural firm founded in 1976 (originally as HGMB Architekten, rebranded around 2006) and operating as a German partnership (PartG mbB) under founding partners Richard Henning and Dong-Min Shin. The firm provides architectural planning and consulting services across all HOAI phases for residential, mixed-use, daycare, and senior-care projects, with a deep specialization in subsidized and affordable multi-family housing, climate protection settlements (Klimaschutzsiedlungen), and energy-efficient construction meeting KfW-40 and 3-Liter-Haus standards. Its service portfolio spans new construction, renovation/modernization, urban planning, architectural competitions, standardization, transformation, and infill development (Nachverdichtung), delivered primarily to housing associations, municipal housing companies, cooperatives, and project developers across North Rhine-Westphalia and select markets in Berlin, Bonn, Köln, and the broader Rheinschiene.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and built on direct engagement: participation in architectural competitions, tender applications, and long-term client relationships, supplemented by industry event presence (polis convention, BFW Immobilientag) and professional memberships (Architektenkammer NRW, BFW). Revenue is generated through project-based fees following the German HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) fee structure, with named enterprise clients including Vonovia SE, Vivawest Wohnen GmbH, Allbau AG (Essen), Rheinwohnungsbau GmbH, Düsseldorfer Bau- und Spargenossenschaft eG (DÜBS), Bauverein Haan eG, Eisenbahn-Bauverein Elberfeld e.G., SWD Städtische Wohnungsbau GmbH, and Cube Real Estate GmbH. The practice has accumulated multiple NRW state-level architecture and urban development awards (2008, 2010, plus repeated 1st-place competition wins through 2017-2026) and has developed a proprietary standardized building typology and a timber-construction variant co-developed with strategic partner Isowoodbau, both aimed at scaling affordable-housing delivery in the German market.
