lohrmannarchitekten bda from Stuttgart is an architectural firm led by the managing directors Holger Lohrmann and Stefanie Larson. The team consists (as of July 2025) of the management and eight employees. The office is characterized by the motivation to take up central themes of architecture that may have receded into the background in recent decades.
The work of lohrmannarchitekten bda is characterized by an appreciation of typological rules, ornamental design and sensual materiality. The team attaches great importance to precision craftsmanship and the deliberate joining of materials. This approach makes it possible to create complex contexts, sensual places with a positive, associative atmosphere.
In close dialogue with the clients, the office develops individual unique pieces that take up the specific wishes and needs of the users. The projects are characterized by restraint and at the same time a meaningful integration into the environment. Each building task is considered unique, with the historical and physical conditions of the location as well as future usage requirements having a significant influence on the design.
The architecture of lohrmannarchitekten bda respects these parameters and translates the developed program into timeless, functional, sensually materialized and economical buildings that are poetic at the same time. Special attention is paid to the research of historical qualities as well as the creation of touching, associative images and their abstract implementation. The office operates at the interface between tradition and modernity.
The projects that have been implemented include the city library at Mailänder Platz in Stuttgart, the visitor centre in the Pforzheim Wildlife Park and the LOGL Competence Centre in Weil der Stadt. The office has received several awards, including the Baden-Württemberg Timber Construction Award 2024 for the LOGL Competence Centre and the German Design Award 2018 for the "Auf der Sauhalde" project in Stuttgart. In addition, the work of lohrmannarchitekten bda has been reported on in various publications, including the Pforzheimer Zeitung, SWR aktuell, the Deutsche Bauzeitung, the Cube Magazine, Wettbewerbe aktuell, the Holzbauatlas and the Architekturführer Deutschland 2025.
