SEVEN YEARS LATER
Campus Rahn School Leipzig We visited our 2018 completed project for the outdoor facilities at the Rahn School campus in Leipzig. According to our plans, the outdoor space is divided into three recreation areas: the entrance courtyard, a running track area and the schoolyard. In addition, the school grounds have been given a planted front garden area with hedges and a strip of trees as a border.
SYMPOSIUM BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION
Aesthetics and design of climate-friendly building culture Last year, Joerg Th. Coqui gave a lecture on new aesthetics in landscape architecture at the Grassi Museum of Applied Arts in Leipzig. In Forum 1, entitled ‘Beautiful Green and Blue – On the Aesthetics of Climate-Resilient Urban Landscapes,’ he spoke about the interplay between aesthetics and climate protection, using the example of our project of the Humboldt University of Berlin’s Institute of Physics, which got awarded at the 2025 German Landscape Architecture Prize.
STRATEGY WORKSHOP FOR AWO BRANDENBURG
Climate adaptation – raising awareness, mobilising action, implementation At this workshop we developed strategies together with the managers of the various AWO facilities with the aim of better adapting the various outdoor facilities to heat, drought and heavy rainfall. Three groups worked on proposals for the key topics of awareness raising, process structure and financing. The workshop identified important next steps for making outdoor facilities climate-resilient.
TOPPING-OUT CEREMONY AT THE SALVATOR SCHOOL
Reason to celebrate! At the end of last year, we celebrated the topping-out ceremony at the Salvator Catholic School in Berlin-Reinickendorf, where a new sports hall and canteen are being built for the school. In this project, which is being carried out in cooperation with Krieger + Mielke Architects, we are not only planning the outdoor facilities, but also providing ecological monitoring of construction work.

ANOTHER AWARD AT THE FLAT ROOF CONTEST
7th place for Gaillardstraße 28… … yesterday we were delighted to receive 8th place for Landsberger Allee 52, and today our office has been awarded 7th place in the Flat Roof Contest for ‘Living in Green Surroundings’ on Gaillardstraße in Berlin, this time in collaboration with Hastrich Keuthage Architects and ARCHIGON GmbH. A project that, despite the most difficult conditions, has made many social wishes come true in the smallest of spaces in two Berlin backyards, in addition to its ecological qualities and low cost. We are delighted for a client for whom we have not been able to realise the first client award.
AWARD AT FLAT ROOF CONTEST
8th place for Landsberger Allee 52 We are delighted to receive this award, along with architect Manfred Treiling, as one of only a few projects for the sustainable office complex at Landsberger Allee 52 (DGNB PLATIN), which we have named ‘OFFICES FOR TOMORROW’. In addition to its extremely economical design in terms of both investment and operation, the cross-property rainwater management system in collaboration with OIKOTEC and the Parochialfriedhof cemetery is also groundbreaking. Thank you to all those involved.
