Caught you! A CV, education and references weren’t enough, you just had to click those three question marks. Respect, we’d love every client to be this curious. As a reward, here’s : out where I go without a floor plan or a building permit. Instead, with a knife, a tarp and far too little phone signal. 🤣

Realest Architekten means several architects, building technicians and draughtspersons. Alongside our permanent staff, we work with a proven network of specialised planning partners.

This allows us to put together a competent, competitive team tailored precisely to each project. Our permanent core team in the office ensures continuity and short lines of communication – from the first conversation to handover.

Get in touch

LinkedIn? I’m there. Sometimes. 😉

I rarely post, repost even less and answer messages about as often as a fax machine rings. I prefer real conversations to digital pen pals.

My tip: pick up the phone and call me directly. That works much better, guaranteed!
