Burkhardt Leitner constructiv
In less than ten years, Burkhardt Leitner constructiv has evolved into one of the leading makers of modular architecture systems. With several international awards to their name, our architecture systems create spaces simply, quickly and permanently. As temporary structures at trade fairs and exhibitions, as displays for presentations and retail use, or as temporary work areas in open-plan offices, lofts, foyers, and industrial premises. In short - we develop temporary spaces for the mobile society.
With offices in Stuttgart and Berlin, our team, now more than thirty strong, handles the architecture projects of an international clientele - from draft planning to system development. Our systems are sold by a steadily expanding global network of independent planning, service and sales partners.
