Biography
Hinrich Baller is an eccentric Berlin architect who grew up in a musical household. His mother was a pianist, which led him to enroll in a music school in Berlin, but he soon transferred to a technical university where he studied architecture (a total of 20 semesters). Subsequently, a Zurich investor commissioned him to build a family house in 1966. This first realization by Baller already bore his unmistakable “natural architectural style.” He then worked at the Technical University of Berlin as a research assistant to Prof. Bernhard Hermkes. During this time, he met his future wife, Inken, with whom he ran an architectural office in West Berlin from 1967 to 1989. In 1989, he divorced and remarried architect Doris Piroth. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he was appointed a full professor at the University of Hamburg, where he worked until retirement, but simultaneously lived and created in Berlin.
