In 2019, Laura Hattrup and Moritz Schrödl established The Architecture Company, focusing on contextual, yet progressive design with a strong connection to place. Both partners have unique backgrounds and skill sets that complement each other and bring balance, depth and nuance to each project.

Their work is international with projects in Europe, Australia, and the US. The Architecture Company is currently working on several bespoke private residences in the foothills of the Bavarian alps, with an eye on regional forms and craftsmanship. Most recently they have partnered with builders in Victoria, Australia to develop several sustainable houses in the local surf coast style.
