Christoph Steinbach, Ulrich Schimmel. Steinbach Schimmel Architekten

Steinbach Schimmel Architekten is an architecture practice founded by Christoph Steinbach and Ulrich Schimmel, based in Öhringen, Germany. They specialize in renovation, conversion, old and new construction, building culture, timeless, lean, and ecological construction.

Over the past 25 years, they have worked on numerous projects in different locations across Germany, seeking to meet the needs of the area and its users in each project. The firm's goal is modern and timeless architecture. Their planning focuses on the client and user, as well as their needs and desires. Individual design, attention to detail, and craftsmanship define their projects. Durable and, whenever possible, natural materials make the buildings they design sustainable and livable. The regional connection of architecture, its relationship with the site and the surrounding area, are central concerns in their work.

With many years of experience, expertise, and creativity, the team represents the highest standard of quality in the planning and execution of ambitious construction projects. They also approach projects comprehensively, from the initial sketch to final construction, in phases 1 to 9.

Over the years, they have also won numerous national competitions and awards in architectural and project categories, the most recent of which is the BIG SEE Architecture Award 2025.
