The architectural firm of the Berlin twin brothers Jürgen and Rüdiger Patzschke was founded in 1968 and is characterised by a Classical-Traditional architectural language.
The firm’s scope of work includes architectural services both domestically and internationally. A key focus of its work is the design of hotel and resort projects, high-end residential and commercial buildings, and renovations in accordance with historic preservation guidelines. The design team at the headquarters in Berlin consists of 50 experienced employees. In 2005, Robert Patzschke established a branch office in Goa, India. Furthermore, a team of architects and visual artists led by partner Jonathan Josenhans creates impressive, professional computer visualizations for both in-house and external projects.Traditional new construction projects remain the exception and, as significant structures, are therefore sought-after rental and investment properties. The buildings designed by Patzschke meet contemporary requirements for state-of-the-art technology and profitability in every respect.
Depending on the specific location and the project’s purpose, however, the Patzschke architectural firm is also open to high-quality, modern architecture. This approach is supported and promoted above all by the next generation of architects in the family.
Philosophy
Our building designs are not subject to fashionable trends; rather, through classical references and understated elegance, they shape the cityscape and deliberately set themselves apart from the arbitrary pursuit of novelty found in modern facade design. They champion an architecture that goes beyond mere functionality to enhance the living environment and is perceived as soothing.
Ever since the construction of the Kempinski Hotel Adlon at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, the Patzschke architectural firm has been recognized beyond Berlin’s borders as a leading proponent of classical, traditional architecture. In more than 15 countries, the architects have since been creating stylish building designs that contrast the modern, austere grid-based architecture with distinctly sculptural and nuanced details.
The Patzschke firm views the interpretation of historical models and the drawing upon their formal vocabulary as a continuation of a tradition proven over millennia. Preserving the valuable elements of past eras and finding the appropriate degree of application for the present is one of an architect’s primary responsibilities. While traditional buildings cannot make history visible, they can evoke memories of history.
