Portfolio About us The wulf architekten office was founded by Tobias Wulf in 1987 and, along with Wulf, is currently managed by Kai Bierich, Alexander Vohl, Jan-Michael Kallfaß, Ingmar Menzer and Steffen Vogt. Approximately 120 employees are employed in the planning team of our office in Stuttgart. Our work spectrum embraces a variety of sophisticated building assignments. Our architecture is characterized by clarity and comprehensiveness we also search for simple solutions for complex assignments, ever aware of the finite nature of our resources. Our commitment to quality is based on the continuity of our work throughout all project phases. Functionality and economy are the foundation for the development of high quality architecture although this is never the sole objective. In addition to our office activity, we are also involved in instruction, in professional organizations, as specialist judges and in design committees. Our Maxims Concept we work conceptually, not commercially Context we consider every building to be part of a context Structure the building structure follows a content-related logic Form the form is not the basis but rather the result of our search Space the sensual perception of space is a primary concern Vision we look to the future while respecting the history of architecture 1
