We are delighted to have won first prize in the competition for the redesign of the Lätarekirche and the new construction of the Christophorus Centre Evangelical Lutheran Deanery Munich!
Our concept focuses on community life, interaction and communication. The renovation strategy for the Lätarekirche and the new construction of the Christophorus Centre are based on an attitude of respect for the existing structure and restraint towards the new. The guiding philosophy is to make the ensemble sustainable with as little intervention as possible, to preserve the church square as the spatial centre of the community and to create a lively sense of togetherness.

You can already enjoy the view at the State Office for Schools in Gunzenhausen. The structural engineering company is currently working on completing the building's cubature. The topping-out ceremony will be on October 27, 2025.
The roof over the examination office on the second floor is in its final stages. At the same time, additional exterior walls are being erected in other areas. Two floors of exterior walls and roofs are still missing before the complete structure will be visible. However, the stepped inner courtyards are already visible..
Our architects are reviewing the installation plans for the facades—both wood and natural stone. At the same time, the tender for the metalworker is being prepared.
The Hotel am Schlossgarten stands like a rock in the surf, patient and calmly observing the construction site activity, waiting for whatever may come.
Work is being carried out on the existing building, and the next construction site for the "Schlossgartenquartier" is slowly taking shape at Stuttgart Central Station. Samples are being taken from the façade to test the reuse of the façade elements. This reveals the interesting choice of materials used in the 1960s.
The Schlossgarten Hotel was probably one of the first buildings to use stainless steel anchors to secure the façade. But it's not just the anchors, which were innovative at the time, that can be seen behind the façade—entire newspapers are also visible. Our architects took a particularly beautiful copy of a Dutch newspaper from June 18, 1966, with them as a souvenir.
Our design for a generational neighbourhood wins third prize in Rottweil!
The new Heerstraße 79 site is an important part of the urban development at the southern entrance to Rottweil. It marks the transition from the urban densification along Heerstraße to the small-scale development in the west, while also creating a new point of identity. The urban development concept is based on openness and
connectivity.

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!
