The Stuttgarter Zeitung newspaper calls it the “Architecture Oscar,” and for us as architects, it is an award that places particular value on our work. We are therefore delighted about the nomination and our place on the shortlist for the 2025 Nike Architecture Prize with the Markolfhalle on Lake Constance. On September 11, 2025, the official ceremony in Erfurt will announce the selected winners.
Until then, we'll keep our fingers crossed.

It looks like a normal doorway— but this doorway connects old and new, history and modernity—in Stammheim. In the future, this doorway will allow people to enter the new community center from the historic barn. To be honest, it is simply an opening. But for the project team, which works daily with the old barn and the new photovoltaic house, connecting the two projects is a significant milestone. Of course, we have a few more breakthroughs to offer...

The BDA Prize for Rheinland-Pfalz and Saarland was awarded back in November 2024. We have now received the book featuring the nominated works. We are delighted that the Germersheim fire station was among them.

There is no news, buta big thank you to Bela Berec and his team for building these beautiful models for each of our competitions - which we unfortunately showcase far too rarely. Often, competition organizers keep the models and never return them to the office due to lack of space. However, we made room for this magnificent model from the W&W Areal Ludwigsburg competition. The competition kept us busy for months in two phases, and it also challenged Bela Berec's team twice. This lively model not only shows attention to detail, but also captures the vibrancy of the quarter.

A warm and big thank you to Mr. Berec and his team and to many more common competitions!

What is special about the BDA "Nike" award? The jury of highly esteemed colleagues only awards prizes every three years to projects in various categories that have already been pre-selected by the federal states.

The awards are giving in six categories -symbolism, atmosphere, composition, social commitment, innovation and classicism.
Therefore we are particularly pleased to be on the shortlist of "Nike" with our Markolfhalle project.
Thanks for having us !

After our library in Kressbronn had already made it onto the cover of the book "Schön hier" (ISBN: 978-3-7757-5150-6), the model of the library was now also allowed to travel with the accompanying traveling exhibition. The exhibition has now moved on and the model has moved back into our office. But there was still a souvenir photo at the end.

We won 2nd prize in the Fire and Rescue Station I competition in Bonn!

The architecture reflects its use as a public building. At the same time, it shows the community its function as both a helping and protective building. The expression of the building is independent and appropriate for a fire station. The chosen architectural form gives the building a face on all sides.
