Helmholtz Pioneer Campus on the Longlist

The international jury of the Archello Awards 2025 has longlisted the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus. Our project is competing with six other buildings for the award in the “Laboratory Building of the Year” category. The jury will announce the shortlist in November.

The Longlist

6 years, 6 projects, 6 cantons

Buoyed by competition successes, our Basel office has developed into a high-performing unit with around 30 employees. “6 years, 6 projects, 6 cantons” was the motto of the first Basel studio party, which took place on September 25, 2025. The evening began with drinks and appetizers before Tobias Wulf welcomed over 100 guests, including many building contractors and specialist planners. The focus then shifted to networking, accompanied by delicious canapés and sounds from a DJ.

5th place at the ArchiCup 2025

For this year's ArchiCup, the Stuttgart soccer tournament for architecture and engineering firms, some of us once again donned the wulf architekten jersey. In bright sunshine, cheered on by our supporters on the sidelines, we made it to the quarterfinals and ultimately achieved a respectable 5th place. It was a great honor to be part of this very special industry gathering once again!

Awarded: Middle School in Gerlingen

The Middle School in Gerlingen, which was expanded and renovated according to our plans, has been awarded as an “Exemplary Building in the Ludwigsburg District 2019–2025”. This is a great success for the planning team. We are delighted to share this achievement with the city of Gerlingen, the structural engineers at bde, and Jetter landscape architects.

Welcome Interns!

A whole host of new interns have recently joined our teams in Stuttgart, Berlin, and Basel. After onboarding, they are already fully immersed in ongoing projects. They are gaining valuable experience and successfully contributing their skills to our company. 

The next application phase is now open for internships starting in March 2026! If you are interested, please write to bewerbungen@wulfarchitekten.com

Awarded at the Iconic Awards

The jury of the Iconic Awards 2025 has honored the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus as »Winner«. We are delighted about this further recognition of our work in an international field with a total of 560 submissions from over 40 countries. The Iconic Awards are presented by the German Design Council.

In Basel, summertime means swimming in the Rhine!

Since our office is located in Kleinbasel, right by the Rhine River, it is just a short walk for our colleagues to reach the riverbank. They jumped into the 24°C warm water and took our customized wulf architekten »Wickelfisch« for its first swim. Isn’t floating down the gentle current through the picturesque Old Town a perfect way to start the weekend?

BauNetz visited construction site in the Oberamteistraße

In August, BauNetz reports on our project Museum Historical Oberamteistraße in its section »Baustellenbesuch«. The richly illustrated online article traces the development and construction of the new building, which supports its neighboring buildings.

Two police stations, two ground-breaking ceremonies

The plans for the police stations in Pfullingen and Rottenburg am Neckar run parallel to an extent that we were able to celebrate two ground-breaking ceremonies in one week: on July 21, our planning team was in Pfullingen, and just two days later, the team visited the ceremony at the sister project in Rottenburg am Neckar. Both projects have their own requirements, which are being met with special design solutions. What they have in common is their focus on sustainability.

Winner of the Design Educates Awards!

We are delighted to have received a »Special Recognition« at the Design Educates Awards 2025! Our project Helmholtz Pioneer Campus impressed the international jury headed by Toyo Itō. Launched in 2019, the awards are hosted by the Laka Foundation, a non-profit organization and a worldwide network focused on social impact via exceptional design and architecture.
