Architect and co-founder Nicola MedrowBürk practically grew up with architecture, spending a lot of her childhood days at the Washington office Perkins&Will, where her father Gunter Bürk was partner at the time. After having gained enough experience on her own, e. g. with Perkins Eastman architects in New York, she joined her father back in Berlin to open their joint enterprise with GBP architects in 2013. Thomas Wagenknecht became the third partner in 2016. GBP’s clients are as manifold as its projects. A close cooperation combined with innovative designs and sustainable craftsmanship leads to the quality that brings long lasting relationships with builders and investors. Nicola Medrow-Bürk explains: “We work closely together with our clients. They trust our sense for creativity, quality, craftsmanship and reliability. We are lucky to always work with innovative, visionary and appreciative builders. That’s how our work becomes joy.”
The approach to work at the renowned Berlin-based office GBP Architekten is marked by its joy for detail, starting with a conscientious planning phase and continuing with true architectural craftsmanship, which is applied to all GBP buildings and projects.
Recently, the renowned office has started aiming its focus even more at the topic of a both digital and sustainable environment – what does the human being need in terms of living and working environments in the near future? Nicola Medrow-Bürk is confident about the contribution through architecture to serve a‘greener’planet: “By applying sensible yet simple technology in the right way, architects can help in saving resources on a large scale.”
