SPONGE CITY TOUR ST. URSULA
Week of Climate Adaption As part of the Climate Adaptation Week and as a result of winning the REGENIAL! competition, we organised a guided tour of the water-sensitive schoolyard at St. Ursula primary school in Zehlendorf in collaboration with the Berlin Rainwater Agency.
WE’RE RETRACING THE BERLIN WALL
Construction progress at Bernauer Straße 26/34 The construction of the two residential buildings at Bernauer Strasse 26/34 is progressing quickly. Due to the location right on the former Wall strip, we are tracing the historical course of the Wall directly in front of the building façade in consultation with the Stiftung Berliner Mauer (Berlin Wall Foundation). We are very happy that we are able to make a small contribution to bringing the history of the city to life.

WINNER REGENIAL 2024
Berlin award for water-sensitive planning Our project for the water-sensitive conversion of the schoolyard of the St. Ursula primary school in Berlin Zehlendorf was awarded as winner of the REGENIAL! sponge city competition organised by the Regenwasseragentur Berlin. It was emphasised that, despite a low budget, it was possible to achieve large-scale unsealing, a near-natural design and to use all the rainwater on site instead of discharging it into the sewage system.We are very happy about the award and the increasing attention on the topic of the sponge city!

IN AN INTERVIEW WITH WEEKEND.GAZETA.PL
Implementation of green roofs in Warsaw Izabela Malachowska-Coqui talks about efforts to green cities, particularly in Hamburg, Berlin and Poland. In Hamburg, a war bunker is being transformed into a green oasis, while in Berlin, every flat roof is to be completely greened by 2024. Similar projects can also be found in Poland. Green carpets on the roofs of bus stops in Warsaw clean the air, store rainwater and improve humidity.
THE ROOF BLOOMS
Office building Landsbergerallee 52 A vacant cinema with several halls was transformed into a terraced office building, into which the Jobcenter Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg is now moving.
LAYING OF THE FOUNDATION STONE BERNAUER STRASSE 26 & 34
The construction can begin! 87 rental apartments are being built on the former Berlin Wall line. Additional commercial units, extensive green roofs and an integrated energy concept create added value in the neighborhood and make an important contribution to climate-friendly construction.
