ArchEX - architecture on site was founded by architect Helge Kühnel in 2003. We started with architecture tours in Amsterdam and other cities in the so called Randstad agglomeration. In the following years we extended our activities to destinations in Germany and selected other European cities, mainly places we know well because we lived, worked or studied there.

We still are a small agency working with a network of local architects and guides. Our tours are always arranged with care, based on first-hand information. As local professionals we are informed about the most recent developments and benefit from our contact with local architects' firms and institutions. We enjoy sharing our knowledge and enthusiasm with interested people, helping them to 'read' architecture and understand design decisions by providing the necessary background information.

Our services vary from guided architectural tours to custom made arrangements for day programs, an entire weekend or a couple of days. We visit districts, cities and regions, or projects based on a specific theme, like for example sustainability, regeneration, housing typologies. For all questions and further information we invite you to contact us.


In short, our competences are:

- we are architects / professionals
- we live and work on the spot
- we are up to date about recent developments
- we maintain good contacts with local authorities, architects and other institutions
- we speak your language
