3L Architects and Industrial Designers was founded by Veronika Lenze, Theodor Lenze and Klaus Th. Luig in 1989. The vision of the company’s founding members was to establish an architectural firm that is driven by a holistic approach to buildings and processes. Instead of just design-oriented services, 3L provides services that include integrative solutions that consist of design, technology, ecology and economy. 3L regards the building process within the framework of holistic project management- from project development to investment, building and facility management to the continuous process of improving building products and services. This holistic view is intended to enhance the overall building process.
Main roles in PROFICIENT
3L coordinates and drives the development process of the new business cases for EeB technology solutions. 3L will coordinate the actions of all involved partners, while giving additional input for the development of the new business modelling.
