caspar. is an architecture studio with a team of around 100 professionals across our Cologne and Hamburg offices. Originally founded as meyerschmitzmorkramer in 2004, Caspar Schmitz-Morkramer reimagined the office under the name caspar. in 2019. We manage all aspects of construction, guiding clients through every phase of service. At caspar., we specialize in the big picture. Our core expertise in office construction and renovations serves as a springboard for a wide range of projects, including district development, working with and within existing structures, or urban revitalization.
caspar.'s work has been recognized many times, e.g. with a double award for the Michaelsberg Abbey at the renowned MIPIM Awards.
Recognizing the profound social impact of the construction industry, caspar. is dedicated more than just creating exceptional architecture. caspar. also focuses on sharing knowledge, advancing theoretical discourse, and contextualizing architecture within a broader framework. One away caspar. does that is by sticking to its maxim “Scale:Human“ (“Massstab Mensch“) in the design process. Yet another is by the research, communication, and publishing activities of our in-house think tank, caspar.esearch. It helps create books such as “Retail in Transition” and “Der Nachhalt” or discussion formats such as the podcast “Massstab Mensch” or the public panel series “Innen.Stadt.Leben” at the AEDES Architecture Forum in Berlin (2021-2022).
