Versatile, ambitious, timeless,
these are the words that most eloquently describe Jessica
Borchardt. She is a woman of considerable expressiveness, which shows, not only in her language
and articulation, but also through her architecture and design skills.
Jessica's path started early with her carpentry training, from which she graduated with honors, best
of the year. This laid the foundation, as well as a yardstick, for her following accomplishments,
while studying at the architecture faculty of the TU Braunschweig. When she received her diploma
in architecture in 2000, she had not only already worked at the institute of her professor Meinhardt
von Gerkan, but also received both the “Lavespreis” and the "DAAD" scholarship in Beijing for her
achievements.
After her fellowship she started working for her former professor at his architecture office “gmp”,
situated in Hamburg, and led large, international projects from the very beginning. In the year 2005
she finally took the big step of founding her own office. A project, which started small as an one-
person show, quickly developed into the 30 employee office “BAID”, located in the heart of
Hamburg, in collaboration with her art gallery “Galerie Borchardt”.
Since 2005 Jessica Borchardt has come a long way, winning several awards, being member of
various Juries, for universities, diverse projects, as well as architectural competitions. Furthermore,
she joined Project-M, a mentor program, with the aim of supporting young female architects on
their career path.
Jessica's projects cover a broad spectrum of comprehensive urban architecture, interior and
exterior concepts, to detail and furniture design. With her claim to innovative, environmentally
friendly, and timeless architecture, she has already created numerous buildings in a wide variety of
locations. From large company headquarters, to psychiatric facilities besides luxury- and social
housing, everything is included.
Her maxim: “Good architecture is the greatest sustainability Factor”

BAU KUNST!
Jessica Borchardt is committed to restoring the awareness of art in society and among her clients. Through her initiative, she created the exhibition project BAU KUNST! in co-operation with her contemporary art gallery “Galerie Borchardt”. In the course of this project, she has launched an exhibition series, each including a catalogue, serving the purpose of broadening society’s understanding of art. This project, not only highlights art in its conventional form, but also mainly emphasizes the variability and vitality of art, along with its ability to be united in architecture.
