WAF GMBH

WAF GMBH is a Hamburg-based studio founded in 2011 that works in strategic thinking, systems design, art direction and digital engineering. Its practice is built on architectural thinking applied to the web, treating the browser as the defining communal space of the time and balancing platform strategy, human interaction, visual design and technical architecture within each project.

The studio cultivates long-term relationships with clients, documenting its work as an iterative, discursive process rather than a monolithic undertaking, and aims for resilient systems marked by visual clarity, structural coherence and build quality. WAF GMBH describes itself as fiercely independent and protective of the open web, and its team includes Malte Müller, Tim Rausch, Klara Neubauer, Lukas Esser, Lisa Rinaldi, Keno Löwenherz and Gennet Beer.
