Gemeinschaftsschule Insel Gartenfeld: Recognition in Competition

Our design for Gemeinschaftsschule Insel Gartenfeld in Berlin has received recognition. Together with the landscape architects Planstatt Senner, we are delighted with this success.

The special location on the south-eastern edge of the Insel Gartenfeld prompted the desire for a school building that would define the space and image. In our structuralist design, the individual learning buildings are connected to form a common whole and offer a high quality of stay thanks to the interlocking open spaces. Communicative and natural spaces play a special role. The characteristic shed roofs and the brick plinths made from recycled stones refer to the industrial past of Gartenfeld Island. At the same time they shape the image of an independent, forward-looking place of learning.

Selected as Winning Project!

We are very pleased with our success in the two-stage competition for the »New Outpatient Hospital in Lucerne«. The winning project proposal was developed by our Basel office together with PPM Baumanagement AG from St. Gallen.

The design paves the way towards a modern hospital infrastructure and envisages two buildings of different sizes for the new outpatient center. Between them, a new attractive staircase creates a valuable link to the adjacent hospital - or to the park, which will be created in a later construction phase on the site of the existing main building. The jury expressly praised the placement of the volumes and the connecting joint, which they considered to be an "outstanding urban design concept". The "consistently well-organized floor plans", which ensure clarity and functionality, were also rated positively.

Honorable Mention: »Postblockareal Süd« in Berlin

Our proposal for the new federal ministries building on the Postblockareal Süd in Berlin was awarded an honorable mention. Congratulations to the competition team!

On the southern part of the so-called Postblockareal (Post block site) in Berlin, a new ministerial building and a residential building with commercial units are to be built. Our design takes up and further develops the urban design approach used in the plans for the expansion of the Federal Ministry of Finance on the northern part of the Postblockareal, which call for a building configuration organized around courtyards.

Awarded 2nd prize: »Training Center« in Geradstetten

Our design for the new »Training Center« in Geradstetten was awarded 2nd prize. Together with Dresden based landscape architects Rehwaldt Landschaftsarchitekten, we are very delighted about the result.

The new building should be recognizable as a coherent educational campus. The common courtyard is the heart and meeting point of the campus. As individual building blocks, the buildings represent both the construction stages and the different uses and specialized fields within a modular system, whereby the individual buildings are assigned to the different areas of use. A green strip along the Rems creates an ecological leisure bank as a public promenade along the river.

Honourable mention: »Neubau für das Robert Koch-Institut in Berlin«

Our competition entry »Neubau des Laborgebäudes Haus 7 für das Robert Koch-Institut« in Berlin has been awarded with an honourable mention. For this we collaborated with structural engineers Mayr Ludescher Partner, dr. heinekamp, experts for laboratory planning and cleanroom technology, and facade planner Dress+ Sommer.

Awarded 1st prize: Rhenaniastraße High School, Berlin

We are very pleased to have been awarded 1st prize in the competition for the  »Rhenaniastraße High School« in Berlin-Spandau! The award winning design was created in collaboration with the landscape architects Planstatt Senner, the structural engineers knippershelbig and the planning office Dernbach. Crongratulations to the successful competition team!

The new building rounds off the residential development in the Wasserstadt Oberhavel. It creates a forecourt on Rhenaniastraße and, with its four segments, integrates sensitively into the green space with its prized tree population. Atop a slab raised slightly to avoid flooding, a wooden spatial framework that can be used flexibly rises up to heights that range from 2 to 4 stories. The building’s articulation corresponds to the educational compartments, and the sports hall also forms part of the composition.

Awarded 1st prize: »Vocational Education Campus« in Sulgen (CH)

Great success: Our Competition Entry for the »Vocational Education Campus in Sulgen (CH)« has been awarded 1st prize! In a team with the structural engineer wh-p engineers from Stuttgart we developed the design for the campus. Congratulations to the entire competition team!

The »Berufsbildungscampus Ostschweiz«, a vocational education campus in Sulgen that serves the Eastern Switzerland region, is intended to be a sustainable and future-oriented project that consolidates spaces for courses from different trades and industrial sectors. A simply shaped building form, functionally organized and tectonically elaborated, embodies the idea of a robust and versatile basic framework.

Awarded 3rd prize:»National Philharmonic Hall in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova«!

We are very pleased to have been awarded 3rd prize in the international competition for the »Chișinău "Serghei Lunchevici" National Philharmonic Orchestra«!

Our concept is based on the maxim of mainting as many parts as possible from the original building in order to preserve an authenticity while the part to be added expresses itself through a contemporary architectural language. It creates a new, characteristic contour of the silhouette that emphasizes the importance of the cultural building and enriches the urban environment. And despite of preserving the historical footprint, the building volume remains compact.

Awarded 2nd prize: »IPAI« in Heilbronn!

We are delighted to have been awarded 2nd prize in the international competition for the new architectural design of the  »IPAI - Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence« in Heilbronn! The design was created in collaboration with the landscape architects Riehl Bauermann & Partner, structural engineers wh-p Ingenieure, engineers for environment and climate Transplan and the traffic planners BS Ingenieure. Crongratulations to the whole competition team!

The topography of the Steinäcker competition site is the starting point for our concept. The hilltop-like rise of the land inspired us to derive an architectural dramatization that generates a distinctive variation of building heights with an identity-conferring silhouette.The IPAI’s impact from afar is attained through a group of tall buildings that rise above the general building height profile. The project’s sensitive embedding within the local recreation area contributes to the social acceptance of the IPAI and its attractiveness to the public.
