Annette Goderbauer, founder and principal of the firm, studied architecture at the Technical University in Munich and at the University of Stuttgart after completing a carpentry apprenticeship with a journeyman's certificate.
After graduating, she moved to New York and was an associate at Steven Holl Architects for years before founding her own firm.
The architecture firm was founded in 2004 in New York, where it operated as AG.ARC Inc. Architecture and Design.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
AG.ARC Inc. was Project Architect for L'Observatoire International, who were responsible for the lighting design of Highline Park. The park now enlivens the entire west side of Manhattan from the Meat Packing District to Hudson Yards.
As an associate at Steven Holl Architects, Annette Goderbauer has worked on numerous international competitions as well as local residential projects, such as this house in the Hamptons - the “Writing with Light House”.
After 12 years in New York, the office founder decided to move to Berlin. AG.ARC.Inc became Goderbauer Architects Gmbh.
Goderbauer Architects GmbH strives for an architecture that is a reflection and reaction to the present. Rather than occupying different projects with one and the same style, the design must emerge from a concept and be driven and guided by this concept. Respecting the human scale of space, considering the tactile perception of materials and understanding the complexity of light - whether natural or artificial - are central elements of architecture. Each project must respond to locally specific conditions and integrate issues of sustainability and energy efficiency.
Goderbauer Architects GmbH works on projects as a team with specialist consultants and seeks exchange and interaction with artists and designers from other disciplines. Goderbauer Architects GmbH offers the entire spectrum of service phases from conception to the finished product.
Our current office is located in the “Mediaspree” project area at Köpenicker Strasse 9 in the listed building of the former Singer sewing machine factory. We look forward to a visit from you!
