DKFS is a british-german company founded by Dirk Krolikowski and Falko Schmitt with an interdisciplinary approach to design. Our main goal is to improve the quality of human infrastructure and innovate new models with unprecedented quality of use, sustainability and design that suit our modern lifestyle.

Our multidisciplinary team of architects, urbanists, engineers and Landscape designers has built an international reputation and received attention for our fresh and innovative interpretation of modern infrastructure with a portfolio of award winning bridge proposals and large span roofs.

DKFS aims to develop existing models of contemporary infrastructure further and create value through an intensive dialogue based process. This involves interdisciplinary investigation, working in close collaboration with engineers and other experts internationally. For this we maintain close working relationships with key players in the industry.

DKFS also maintains close ties to academic environment and lecture internationally about their work. They teach their own design classes at reputed Universities such as the Bartlett in London and use the research environment as a think tank to develop their fresh and innovative approach to design.

Part of DKFS’ portfolio are many 1st Prize competition wins, among them the RIBA administered international competition for the River Douglas Bridge in Preston and the connecting link bridge in the historic centre of Vienna. .
