As an architectural firm, we specialise in building construction, refurbishment with conversion and new construction planning. We are happy to work on a wide range of construction projects, including older buildings and listed buildings, and attach great importance to sustainable construction. Our guiding principle is: Build well - live better. We would like to express our philosophy of architecture with a quote from Gadamer (1990, p161): “A building reaches beyond itself in two ways. It is determined as much by the purpose it is intended to serve as by the place it has to occupy in the overall spatial context. Every master builder has to reckon with both. Its design is itself determined by the fact that the building is intended to serve a way of life and has to fit in with natural and structural conditions. We call a successful building a happy solution, meaning both that it fulfils its purpose perfectly and that it adds something new to the urban or rural landscape through its construction. The building also represents a real increase in being through this double categorisation. In other words, it is a work of art.” We therefore endeavour to create special works and to be the first port of call for our customers.
We have been successful with our architecture firm in Germany for more than ten years now. Count on us for solid expertise and creativity, also for energy solutions.
In order to be able to carry out a new build or conversion, every building owner needs an authorised building application from the city. In order to be able to submit the building application, the building application plans must be signed by an architect. Apart from signing the building application, builders could theoretically plan, design and manage everything themselves. But do you really want to deal with the 3,000 or so norms and standards for the construction sector or the state regulations?
To ensure that the costs, construction time and quality of the refurbishment, new build or conversion meet the clients expectations and the current state of the art, construction companies must be contacted in good time, commissioned in writing with a contract and their work coordinated, monitored and approved. Architects know what matters in the construction industry.
The Federal Republic of Germany has recognised a scale of fees for architects and engineers (HOAI) to ensure architects are remunerated adequately. The HOAI regulates key services, which must be contractually agreed upon between architects and builders. There is scope for remuneration and additional services. In the different HOAI phases, the architects fee is weighted and regulated as a percentage of the chargeable construction sum, taking into account the respective complexity of each construction project. Clients can also commission architects to carry out individual HOAI phases sequentially. Please contact us as your Oldenburg architect and we will be happy to provide you with further details.
Due to the complex economic situation and the large number of regulations, we always recommend consulting an architect for your building project: Better with architects!
Our motto is modern living and timeless design. We are keen to take up old building fabric worthy of preservation and incorporate it into our planning. Have a look at our projects. Here you will find specific examples to give you a first impression. Architects interested in our work are also very welcome to have a look.
As architects specialising in the refurbishing of older buildings, we know all about renovating, converting or extending existing buildings. We have already refurbished a number of historical buildings and monuments, converted them into flats or extended them. In this context, it is particularly important to comply with and observe building regulations. For example, as we are converting an old listed school in Lower Saxony into flats, we aim to preserve and emphasise the beautiful architecture with its historic elements. We pay great attention to detail as we create a plan for you or turn your ideas into designs and make them reality. We are happy to work in Oldenburg, Oldenburger Land, Ammerland, Hude, Hatten or further afield such as throughout Lower Saxony,
Bremen, or Hamburg. When it comes to the planning phase, we will gladly take on projects anywhere in the world. Please take a look at our references.
As architects specialising in the renovation of existing buildings, we take particular care to ensure that, in addition to aesthetic and artistic design, we also comply with customer requirements and design specifications. These aspects constitute a challenge for any architect in terms of cost-effective, smooth execution. Whether you’re looking to build something new or renovate or convert an existing structure, Zanner Architecture is always worth an enquiry.

The profession of architect represents a special combination of art and technology in construction. Our architects will realise your project in accordance with HOAI in keeping with our philosophy. We look forward to every new project in which we can inspire our customers as architects.
At Zanner Architektur, we see refurbishment not only as the restoration of past splendour, but also as an opportunity to design buildings for the future. Adding extra storeys to an existing building is a particularly effective way of achieving just that. As a vertical transformation, adding extra storeys to your building maximises the value of your property while enabling sustainable, modern use.
Why does it make sense to extend an existing building vertically?
Saving space – In urban areas, space is often a precious resource and the growing consumption of land leads to enormous negative consequences for the environment and our climate. The aim of adding storeys is to grow vertically and thus gain valuable space without taking up additional land.
Modernisation – Old buildings can be brought up to date in terms of energy efficiency, technology and functionality by adding a storey. This not only improves living comfort and cosiness, but also reduces running costs in the long term.
Value preservation and value maximisation – A professionally planned and executed extension can maximise the value of your property as it opens up new possibilities for use. Your building can thus be transformed into a modern and attractive residential or commercial property.
Sustainability Instead of constructing a new building, which has a high environmental impact, we can extend existing buildings in an environmentally friendly way by adding storeys. This contributes to sustainability and the conservation of resources and adds more living space to existing properties.
We will be happy to help you realise the full potential of your building and transform your property into a modern masterpiece. Contact us to find out more about possible extensions to your building and how you can take your property to the next level.
