Atelier Bildau is an international consultancy for landscape urbanism, architecture and design with a strong focus on sustainable and social environments.

Founded by Sebastian Bildau in 2024 in Munich, Germany, after 15 years of working and teaching in the architecture and design industry in various countries in Europe, North and South Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.

We bring the various actors together to create modest buildings, meaningful spaces and aspiring design objects. We design, manufacture and build projects in every scale all over the world. No place is to far, we always assemble the best team for every design task. Collaboration, careful observation and listening is key and our main asset. Together with our clients we thrive to build beyond the ordinary. Our best scenario is where everybody involved learns something new and had never thought about this particular outcome before.

Our Values:

 

Sustainability and Resilience

Sustainability and resilience are our top priorities. If you want to work with us, it should be for you too. We don't spend our time explaining why building with wood or other local and renewable raw materials makes sense.

Social Responsibility.

A social balance is important to us. We do not build lighthouse projects for a few for extraordinary prices. We are fascinated by simple and elegant solutions. We believe in a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach and do not want to impose solutions from above. We develop projects together with our customers and their local partners.

Concepts and Design take Time.

Good design takes time and exchange. That's why we calculate enough time for project development. and listen carefully. In a collaborative process with all those involved, we study multiple options in physical and digital models. We carefully counterbalance all aspects of a project, for the residents, for the client and for the environment.

 

Holistic Approach.

We carefully weigh up all aspects of a project, for the residents, for the client and for the environment. Not only the construction and operation of the building plays a role for us, but also the dismantling and recycling of the entire building.

Affordable and Inclusive.

Simple construction and reproducible, easy-to-maintain details are of great importance. Everyone, young or old, with or without disabilities, should feel comfortable in the rooms.

Climate Positive.

Our buildings and urban landscapes consume less energy than they produce or have absorbed during growth, not only during construction, but also during operation and dismantling. Naturally, the focus here is on the entire life cycle.
