We say, fol­lo­wing Karl Valen­tin: ‘I am hap­py when it rains, becau­se if I am not hap­py, it rains any­way.’

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.

A HOUSE FOR CHILDREN

A place to feel good, explo­re and play. The stun­ning land­scape forms the heart of our design. Iza and Emi­li­an have alre­a­dy been on site to prepa­re the ground­work.

REUSE OF THE HOSPITAL COURTYARD WITH CHURCH IN ZITTAU

Com­pe­ti­ti­on ent­ry with Ate­lier Starzak Stre­bicki Our revi­ta­li­sa­ti­on pro­po­sal for the lis­ted hos­pi­tal estate on Mar­­tin-Weh­­nert-Platz in Zit­tau pur­sues a careful rede­sign of the exis­ting buil­ding in three trans­for­ma­ti­on pha­ses, with respect for its his­to­ri­cal heri­ta­ge. The new cour­ty­ard, as the heart of the ensem­ble, forms the cen­tral com­mu­nal space and con­nects archi­tec­tu­re, land­scape and city. The use of eco­lo­gi­cal mate­ri­als, sus­tainable rain­wa­ter manage­ment and par­ti­ci­pa­to­ry pro­ces­ses are part of the sus­tainable urban rene­wal. The result is a place that pre­ser­ves histo­ry and pro­vi­des new impe­tus for urban life.

CLIMATE ADAPTATION WEEK WITH CMC

The ful­ly boo­ked event last week saw Joerg Th. Coqui gui­de 40 peo­p­le through the cour­ty­ards and along the green faça­des of the Insti­tu­te of Phy­sics at Hum­boldt Uni­ver­si­ty in Ber­lin. The gre­at inte­rest shown once again demons­tra­tes the con­ti­nuing rele­van­ce of this pro­ject, which was com­ple­ted in 2003 and won the Ger­man Land­scape Archi­tec­tu­re Pri­ze in the cate­go­ry ‘matu­ri­ty exami­na­ti­on’ in 2025.
