In addition to individual publications, the publisher also publishes various series: handbooks, principles and architecture guides. Unique selling points are publications on architecture in regions that are not the focus of public discussion, in particular on the history of building in the area of ​​the former Soviet Union . This eastward orientation is also reflected in the publisher's logo, a Cyrillic d for DOM.

Further thematic focuses are architecture in Africa and the Muslim world. The architecture guide on Pyongyang attracted attention. The yearbook of the German Architecture Museum (DAM) in Frankfurt am Main has also been published by DOM publishers since 2017 .

The books are mainly published in German, but also in Danish, English, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish.

In 2020 DOM publishers was awarded a German Publishing Prize as an “outstanding publisher” and thus received one of the three top annual prizes.
