Following the successful redesign of the underground parking garages, the Fünf Brüder Ost project is back on track. Final consultations are currently underway with the aim of starting construction in 2026. The combination of listed buildings and new construction creates the basis for sustainable development of the site.

In 2026, we will continue to work on projects at various locations in Germany. In addition to projects in Bremen, Worpswede, Hanau, and Berlin, we are also supporting a project in Paraguay and working on a project in China. This allows us to combine regional project work with an international perspective while remaining open to further assignments.

The turn of the year marks the beginning of a new chapter. For us, 2026 will also be a year of planning, forward thinking, and implementation—with the aim of developing architecture that is functional, economical, and sustainable in terms of design. The conscious use of existing structures, resources, and context remains a central component of our work. We would like to thank our clients and project partners for their trust and constructive cooperation over the past year.
 

We can look back on an intense and successful year. We have been able to further develop many projects, establish new partnerships, and deepen existing collaborations. The brick Christmas tree symbolizes what drives us: creating space. Developing values. Building the future – brick by brick. We would like to thank you for your trust and excellent cooperation in 2025. We wish you a restful Christmas season and a good start to a healthy and successful 2026.

As part of the IKATU project trip, we visited Paraguay. We visited the new construction site for 40 residential units in Asunción to get an idea of the current status of the work. The site visit provided direct insight into the construction work and the general conditions on site in South America. The exchange on the construction site supports reliable implementation, even for international projects.

O59, a modern residential project using sustainable timber construction, is being built at Ostertorsteinweg 59. Above the existing café, new apartments are being built with clean architecture, high energy efficiency, and high-quality materials. We are looking forward to the implementation of this special project in the heart of the Bremen district and will report regularly on its progress here.

The demolition work on Erbrichterweg has been successfully completed. The earthworks have now also been completed - another important milestone on the way to a modern residential ensemble consisting of a detached house and guest house. With the demolition work completed and the earthworks finished, the foundation has been laid for the new building. We are delighted that the construction site is progressing according to plan and are looking forward to the start of construction in the spring.

The trip to Madrid and Valencia showed how diverse architecture can be experienced. From the floating CaixaForum by Herzog & de Meuron and Norman Foster's Torre Cepsa to the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias by Santiago Calatrava, there is a fascinating arc between history and the future. Both cities show how light, material and space shape identity - and how architecture becomes an expression of living culture.

Demolition work has begun on Erbrichterweg in Bremen-Borgfeld for the construction of a new detached house with a guest house. This marks the start of the implementation of a modern residential concept that combines architecture, sustainability and comfort. The demolition of the existing buildings will create space for a new building that will blend harmoniously into its surroundings with its clear design language and high-quality materials.
We are delighted that construction work has visibly begun and will report regularly on progress here.

A successful evening in the Havana Lounge: Florian Wellmann and Nelson Valdez presented the project IKATU - Hope through Education in Paraguay to numerous guests. Their presentation was emotional, profound and made it impressively clear how much a school with a social center is needed in Caaguazú. Incoming President Thorsten Italiano is delighted to be able to support the project as part of a global grant. Anything is possible - IKATU makes it possible.

In a quiet location, surrounded by mature trees and flowering gardens, an exclusive vacation home complex is being built in the heart of the Ammerland. Modern brick and wood architecture, large windows and bright rooms create an inviting atmosphere. A car-free inner courtyard, lovingly landscaped green spaces and the proximity to the Zwischenahner Meer make this the perfect place for a relaxing break. Ideal for owner-occupiers - and as a high-yield investment in a sought-after vacation region.

The IKATU project is creating an educational and community center in Paraguay that opens up new opportunities for young people. The project was initiated by the Florian Wellmann Foundation and the Nelson y Martyna Haedo Valdez Fundación. We visualized the designs of a Paraguayan architecture firm - to make the vision tangible and support its implementation. A project that connects - across national borders.

30 degrees, sunshine and full commitment: Our pbi Allstars competed in the 19th soccer tournament of the Chamber of Architects and Engineers on June 21, 2025. With team spirit and enthusiasm, we reached the round of 16 - unfortunately, that was the end of the game. Nevertheless, it was a great day with a great atmosphere, fair games and real team spirit. Thanks to everyone who fought, cheered and celebrated with us. We'll be back!

For us, sustainability does not begin with construction, but with planning. By signing up to the DGNB sustainability phase, we are committed to integrating ecological, economic and social aspects into our projects at an early stage and in a structured manner. The DGNB initiative supports us in making well-founded and sustainable decisions together with our clients. An important step towards greater quality and responsibility in the planning process.

Construction work has begun on the conversion of a residential building in the popular Bremen district. Over the coming months, the building will be extensively modernized and adapted to contemporary living requirements. Completion is planned for the end of the year. We will keep you up to date on the progress!

Xi'an, Baoji and Beijing - three cities that not only impressed us architecturally. On site, we were able to intensify joint projects with a long-standing client with whom we also work successfully in Germany. Particularly inspiring: iconic buildings by Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron and other international architecture firms. A journey full of new impressions and exciting perspectives.

This architectural highlight impresses with a high-quality façade that combines style and durability. The clear geometry of the design is complemented by subtle, natural materials that give the building depth and character, while the well thought-out design of paths and illuminated steps leads to an inviting, covered entrance area. Generous windows create an optimal connection between the interior and exterior spaces. 

Our annual kick-off was a great start to the new year! Surrounded by legendary trophies such as the DFB Cup, the championship trophy, the European Championship trophy and the golden World Cup trophy, we experienced an evening full of team spirit, inspiring conversations and impressive highlights, which ended perfectly with a meal together at the Cucina de Egidio restaurant, where we indulged in culinary delights and toasted to a successful year. 

A year full of ideas, clever strategies and creative moments lies behind us - and we look back with gratitude. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the trust you have placed in us and the great collaboration that has accompanied us over the past year. We look forward to 2025 with renewed energy and anticipation and look forward to exciting projects and joint successes.

A special residential project is being built in Worpswede: 12 apartments and 4 houses in modern timber frame construction that meet the strict Efficiency House 40 standard. The natural atmosphere of the timber construction ensures a healthy living environment and blends harmoniously into the artists' village of Worpswede. 

For our new residential project in Oldenburg, we have developed architecture that combines functionality and aesthetics. The design for the new building comprises 8 apartments that offer ideal living quality and make full use of the possibilities of modular timber construction. 

Our office was honored with the Real Estate Architecture Award 2024 in the Architectural Design category and thus bears the title "Excellent". This internationally renowned award recognizes outstanding architectural projects that impress with their creativity, innovation and sustainability. We are proud of this success and look forward to celebrating it in style!

On 05.09.2024 we celebrate our 20th anniversary! For two decades, PBI has stood for quality, commitment and success. We look back proudly on our history and look forward to the future.
Thank you to everyone who is and has been part of this journey. Here's to the next 20 years! 🚀

This weekend in Weimar and Dessau, we took an in-depth look at the Bauhaus movement. By visiting museums and the important buildings of the Bauhaus movement, we were able to get a comprehensive picture on site. In the spirit of the visionary ideas of Gropius, Feininger and van der Rohe, we strive to bring the same innovative power and creativity to our work every day.
