Urbansky Architekten is an architecture and design firm headquartered in Berlin, Germany. The company was established in 2017 by Malte Schröder and Marcus Schröger, both of whom brought with them extensive experience in architecture, project management, and design from previous ventures and long-standing careers in the field. Schröger previously led his own studio in Berlin, while Schröder had founded SPARK Architekten. Their partnership emerged from a series of collaborative housing projects and has since expanded to include a diverse team of architects, interior designers, and project developers.
The core focus of Urbansky Architekten is on residential developments, social infrastructure, adaptive reuse, and sustainable urban design. The firm emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach, integrating architecture with interior and product design, and leveraging methods that prioritize the needs and motivations of building users. Their portfolio includes recent projects such as the sustainable residential complex Küss55 in Berlin-Lichtenberg, penthouse developments in Berlin-Neukölln, a boarding house in Prenzlauer Berg, and the eco-spa resort Gut Rantzau in Schleswig-Holstein. Additionally, they have engaged in the renovation of historic buildings like the Alte Brauerei Templin and have contributed to care facilities and inclusive housing projects under the direction of team member Sebastian Brüning.
Urbansky Architekten operates with a guiding principle of creating architecture that is both functional and enduring, balancing advanced technology, clear design language, and social sustainability. They regularly collaborate with specialized engineers and consultants to realize projects that foster community and interaction, reflecting the complexity and diversity of the urban environments they serve.
