What peter bastian architeken bda does

Peter Bastian Architekten BDA (PBA) is a privately held architecture firm founded in 1999 by Peter Bastian in Münster, Germany. The firm delivers full-scope architectural services across HOAI Leistungsphasen 1-7, covering new construction, renovation, interior architecture, heritage conservation (Denkmalschutz), and project development. Its core technology stack combines standard CAD/BIM tools with proprietary design expertise in modular construction systems (notably a 1.40m office grid), sustainable building techniques (Passivhaus standards, green roofs with PV, heat pumps), timber and prefabricated construction, and careful adaptive reuse of listed buildings.

PBA serves primarily German public-sector and institutional clients, with a strong concentration in North Rhine-Westphalia. Its portfolio spans education (vocational schools, gymnasiums, university extensions, primary schools), public administration buildings, residential (single-family, multi-family, and large adaptive-reuse developments), healthcare facilities, cultural/religious buildings, and urban spaces. Named clients include Stadt Münster, Bischöfliches Generalvikariat Münster, Universitätsklinikum Münster, Landwirtschaftsverlag, Opta Data, UTB Berlin, and ITB FMZ Köln-Kalk.

The business model is professional-services revenue under Germany's HOAI fee structure, with project acquisition driven by participation in architectural competitions (Realisierungswettbewerbe), negotiated tenders (VgV Verfahren), and investor competitions. The firm operates as a direct-engagement practice from a single headquarters at Hafenweg 24, Münster, with a team of approximately 100, including a partner bench (Peter Bastian, Marco Münsterteicher, Piet Fröhlich, Sven Helms). PBA has accumulated 20+ competition first prizes over 25 years and a substantial roster of BDA and international awards, supporting continued pipeline generation through reputation rather than sales-led outbound activity.
