Designing for Health, Science & Research

Healthcare and science buildings must meet extremely high requirements when it comes to function, efficiency and user-friendliness. These buildings convey the first impression of an organization. They form the space where patients recuperate and researchers make scientific breakthroughs. They create a working environment that fulfills professional standards without ignoring the wellness and well-being of staff. They form the basis for optimum operational processes and functions. And they act as a reflection of communities—sensitively fitting into surrounding built and natural environments as much as possible.

These technically complex facilities require architects with design, planning, and technical expertise not only in architecture, but also in the business and operational requirements of the healthcare and science industries as a whole.

TMK Architekten • Ingenieure has been planning, designing and delivering health service buildings for more than five decades, and has long been known as one of the leading healthcare design firms in Germany. In the spring of 2013, we merged with HDR Architecture, the world's No. 1 healthcare and science facility design firm. Our merged firm— HDR TMK Planungsgesellschaft mbH —acts as the hub for HDR's healthcare and science + technology design programs in Europe. Although our firm will remain firmly rooted in Germany, this merger gives us the global resources to bring the best ideas from anywhere in the world to our clients throughout Germany and beyond.
