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.

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.

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.

At the Ger­man Land­scape Archi­tec­tu­re Award 2025 cerem­o­ny, we were deligh­ted to recei­ve the award in the cate­go­ry ‘Matu­ri­ty Test — Pro­jects 20 Years and Older’ for our pro­ject Insti­tu­te of Phy­sics at Hum­boldt Uni­ver­si­ty Ber­lin, which was plan­ned and rea­li­sed in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with Ste­fan Tischer and the archi­tects Augus­tin and Frank.

The award reco­g­ni­s­es the fore­sight of the pro­ject: plan­ned over 20 years ago, the cli­­ma­­te-adap­t­ed and rege­ne­ra­ti­ve mea­su­res are now more rele­vant than ever and form the basis for legal regu­la­ti­ons rela­ting to rain­wa­ter manage­ment that now app­ly to all pro­jects.
