Practice

Sascha Zander and Christian Roth founded the zanderroth office in Berlin in 1999, a time following the fall of the Berlin Wall when the city’s urban structure was beginning to expand again on the basis of its parcel structure from the Gründerzeit era, i.e. “founding years.”
Today, the office is known for making innovative, experimental, and affordable housing, as well as for effective building group concepts that have been used to develop and realize numerous projects. Beyond its focus on innovative housing construction, the firm is deeply engaged in developing new urban planning concepts.

A hallmark of zanderroth’s architecture is the rigorousness of its conception, organization, and design, as can be seen in its multiple award-winning housing projects in Berlin – including projects at Zelterstrasse, Liebigstrasse, Pasteurstrasse, und Thulestrasse.
