silber orange architekten(silver orange architects)is a German architects office founded in 2005 by Anke Lepa and Volker Hoffmann. Our guiding principles are: IndividualityOur approach is to work out the potential of each task and to develop a specific solution. This can lead to the creation of individual forms, which is no end in itself for us. The individual client gets an unique design which represents him, as it's custom made for his very own requirements.SensuousnessFunctionality is self-evident for us, our aim beyond this is an architecture that is guided by the quality of life and the sensual experience of its users. We do not restrict the design process to the building, but also include interior and outdoor design aspects, to create spaces that appeal to the senses. ThoroughnessIt is important for us to think through our concepts already in the early phases of the design process in different scales in order to achieve a universal quality of design from the whole to details. We check room proportions, lighting atmosphere and the appearance of the chosen materials by using models, drawn perspectives and visualizations from the point of view of the future users or people in the street. ----My additional qualifications:'Master of Engineering / Certified Expert on Building Damage, Construction Deficiencies and Reinstatement Planning' (University of Applied Sciences, Kaiserslautern)- Mold assessment and remediation- Toxic substances in buildings ----Where we are, and where we goWe focus our activity on the south west German area between the cities of Saarbrücken, Frankfurt and Karlsruhe, including Kaiserslautern, Ludwigshafen, Mannheim, Heidelberg and the countryside in between.In the long run we'd also like to engage in China again, preferably in Beijing or close.And if the project is right, we're open to proposals for other places in the world too :) .Specialties: Sensuous architecture Energy saving architectureExpert reports on building damage, construction deficiencies and reinstatement planning.
