About us

The wulf architekten office was founded by Tobias Wulf in 1987. Approxi-mately 150 employees from 20 nations are employed in the planning teams of our offices in Stuttgart, Berlin and Basel (CH).

Currently the office is managed by Tobias Wulf, Jan-Michael Kallfaß, Ingmar Menzer and Steffen Vogt. From 1996 to 2018 Kai Bierich and Alexander Vohl were partners of Tobias Wulf at wulf architekten.

In addition to our office activity, we are also involved in instruction, in profes-sional organizations, as specialist judges and in design committees. In the past years our projects have been honored with more than 100 awards.

Our work spectrum embraces a variety of sophisticated building assign-ments. Our architecture is characterized by clarity and comprehensiveness – we also search for simple solutions for complex assignments, ever aware of the finite nature of our resources. As a member of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) we pursue a sustainable approach.Our commitment to quality is based on the continuity of our work throughout all project phases. Functionality and economy are the foundation for the development of high quality architecture – although this is never the sole objective.

Our designs are determined by the following precepts:

Concept – we work conceptually, not commerciallyContext – we consider every building to be part of a contextStructure – the building structure follows a content-related logicForm – the form is not the basis but rather the result of our searchSpace – the sensual perception of space is a primary concernMaterial – the correlation of material and construction effects the quality ofarchitectureTime – we look to the future while respecting the history of architecture
