Tchoban Voss Architekten GmbH, headquartered in Berlin, is a well-established architecture firm known for its extensive contributions to Germany’s built environment. The origins of the office date back to 1931 in Hamburg, founded by Herbert Sprotte and Peter Neve. Over the decades, the practice evolved through mergers and leadership transitions, with a significant milestone in 1995 when Sergei Tchoban and Ekkehard Voss assumed partner roles. In 2017, the current name was adopted to mark a new era of the firm’s development.
The company currently operates with more than 150 professionals, including architects, planners, and engineers, working from offices in Berlin, Hamburg, and Dresden. Tchoban Voss Architekten is involved in a broad spectrum of architectural services. Their portfolio includes residential, office, and mixed-use buildings, hotels, commercial centers, factories, schools, cultural venues, and restoration projects, serving both public and private clients.
In Berlin, key projects include the EDGE Suedkreuz ensemble—the country’s largest office complex in timber-hybrid construction—the Apple Store on Rosenthaler Strasse, and the Cold War Museum Berlin on Unter den Linden. They have also overseen the revitalization of listed buildings such as Ernst-Reuter-Platz 6 and the conversion of the Alhambra cinema palace.
The firm is a member of notable professional bodies, including the Association of German Architects (BDA). Their approach highlights the interplay of volume, detail, and context, striving for sustainable and functional solutions across diverse architectural tasks.
