dreigegeneinen is an architectural practice with offices in Berlin and Munich, established as a platform for architectural design, urban strategies, and construction. Their work spans conversions, new buildings, refurbishments, and public as well as private competitions across Germany. The team approaches each project by drawing from the specific qualities of the location and the process, avoiding any rigid methodology. This results in a diverse portfolio that includes both residential and non-residential typologies.
One of dreigegeneinen's notable areas of activity is the transformation and adaptation of existing structures. For example, they converted a historical building on Berlin’s Märkisches Ufer originally slated for luxury apartments into a residence for refugees, focusing on creating high-quality, livable spaces in historically protected structures. The facility was designed to accommodate up to 60 people and prioritized a welcoming atmosphere over mere durability of materials.
In Berlin’s Neukölln district, the firm completed the Kreativquartier Richardstraße project, restoring and repurposing protected former farmhouses and constructing new buildings in monolithic brick to modern energy standards. This ensemble was redeveloped in close dialogue with monument authorities to create vibrant workspaces and foster a village-like atmosphere, emphasizing the integration of old and new elements.
dreigegeneinen has also found recognition with competition successes, such as the modular wooden housing project in Kirchheim unter Teck. Their approach is characterized by a focus on sustainability, appropriateness, and the careful advancement of cultural and structural heritage.
