Fire Station in Straubenhardt published in Baumeister Magazine

The January issue of the architecture magazine Baumeister is focused on the topic of circularity. The author Christoph Gunßer discusses our Fire Station in Straubenhardt, which was designed in accordance with the »Cradle to Cradle« principle and therefore is considered a trailblazing building. In an interview, Ingmar Menzer talks about the feasibility of circular construction and the hurdles that may arise.

We wish everyone an inspiring and well-structured new year!

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.

Success in the national award »Klimaaktive Kommune 2023«

The municipality of Straubenhardt is one of the winners of the national award »Klimaaktive Kommune 2023« in the category »Resource and Energy Efficiency«: the prize was awarded for our Fire Station in Straubenhardt, planned in accordance with the »Cradle to Cradle« principle, by the German Institute of Urban Affairs with funding from National Climate Initiative of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
