Element A Architekten

Based in Munich and Heidelberg, Element A Architekten evolved from Hübner + Erhard und Partner in 2022. The studio works mainly on administrative and residential buildings for the public sector. Owner Christian Taufenbach joined the company’s predecessor in 1997, becoming a partner in 2002. After training as a drafter, he studied architecture in Braunschweig and Graz until 1996, then earned a master’s in construction project management from Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences in 2005. The work of Element A Architekten has recently focused more on conversion and refurbishment, like the German Alpine Club headquarters, a project that strongly resonates with Taufenbach, since he is an avid hiker.
