About TCHOBAN VOSS Architekten

TCHOBAN VOSS Architekten is a German architecture practice that designs, plans and builds for national and international clients across both the public and private sectors. The firm operates from three studios - Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden - and takes its name from Sergei Tchoban, architect BDA, and his partner Ekkehard Voss, architect BDA (1963-2024). With over 150 highly qualified staff working in interdisciplinary teams, it delivers architecturally and functionally sustainable solutions for a wide range of building projects in Germany and abroad.

Full-Service Delivery

A defining characteristic of the practice is that it covers HOAI service phases 1 to 9 - the complete German fee structure from initial feasibility and concept design through approval planning, tender documentation, construction supervision and final documentation. Many design practices stop at phase 5; carrying a project through to site supervision and handover means the office retains responsibility for how the design is actually built.

• Approval and execution planning - full German permitting and construction documentation

Sectors Served

The portfolio spans office and commercial buildings, residential and mixed-use development, cultural and museum projects, education and campus buildings, judicial and public sector facilities, and urban infill within protected historic contexts. That breadth reflects the German market, where public competitions remain a major route to work and practices need credibility across several building types.

Digital Design and Technology

The office invests in 3D modelling, visualisation and AI-supported design tools. In a practice delivering through to construction supervision, these tools serve coordination and buildability as much as presentation - resolving clashes and detailing before they reach the site.

Professional Standing

TCHOBAN VOSS Architekten is a member of the Association of German Architects (BDA), the Chambers of Architects in Hamburg, Berlin and Saxony, the Foerderverein Bundesstiftung Baukultur and the European Architects Network (EAN) - affiliations that signal both regulatory standing and engagement with German building culture debate.

Market Position

The practice competes as a substantial German architecture office with genuine national reach and full-service capability, working for developers, corporates, institutions and public authorities. Its combination of design ambition, technical delivery and multi-city presence suits large, long-running commissions with complex approval processes.
