Interim report B14 presented
July 2025
For the past year, we have been working closely with the city administration, various departments and our partners Koeber Landschaftsarchitektur, Inovaplan and the University of Stuttgart on the framework planning for the transformation of the B14 in Stuttgart.
Last week, we presented our first interim report to various committees, such as the district advisory councils, the urban planning committee and the urban planning advisory board. We also held initial discussions on our approximately nine-metre-long working model, which will be on display for the town hall meetings and also at future public participation meetings.
Our next steps over the next few months will be to focus on the node areas in greater depth and work out the implementation steps. The first public participation event will then take place in October.

Project update Sportpark Rheinhöhe
Juli 2025
Vergangene Woche haben wir Holzbau Amann in Ingelheim besucht. Dort wird im Moment das Holzdach für den Sportpark Rheinhöhe gefertigt. Für eine Dachfläche von etwa 15.000 Quadratmeter werden circa 4.000 bis 5.000 Kubikmeter Holz verarbeitet. Das Holzdach zählt damit zu einem der größten in ganz Europa. Spannend war für uns deshalb vor Ort zu sehen, welche Infrastruktur hinter so einer Fertigung steckt.
Um unser Projekt abwickeln zu können, wurden unter anderem eine neue Abbundmaschine gekauft, ein Abbundtisch mit einer Länge von 50 Metern gebaut und aktuell entsteht noch eine überdachte Zufahrtsstraße. Ab Oktober startet dann der Transport auf die Baustelle. Insgesamt sind über 100 Fahrten mit dem Schwertransporter geplant bis alle Bauteile vor Ort sind.

Women-In-Architecture-Festival
July 2025
As part of the WIA Festival, our colleague Jana Melber took part in the ‘Speed Talks’ on stage at the annual conference of the Network of Women Architects as part of the organising team. The aim of the event was to further expand the feminist network at the Chamber of Architects, to draw attention to injustice and to show how much is possible when women MAKE things happen, especially with regard to the building revolution.

Cem Arat at the Tourism DayCem Arat beim Tourismustag
July 2025
What are the special (structural) features of the Haus des Tourismus and how can the principles of ‘New Work’ be seen and experienced there? Our Managing Director Cem Arat discussed these topics with Christine Schönhuber and Armin Dellnitz during a panel discussion at the Tourism Day organised by Tourismus Marketing GmbH Baden-Württemberg in the New Palace.
The Haus des Tourismus on Stuttgart’s market square will be completed in a few months and is already an outstanding example of building in existing structures. During the transformation of the former fashion store, almost the entire shell was retained, while the necessary extensions and the additional storey were realised in timber construction.
In future, the building will be home to both Stuttgart Marketing GmbH and Tourismus Marketing GmbH BW. The building is open to the public and, with its tourist information centre and catering concepts, marks a lively urban building block in the immediate vicinity of Stuttgart City Hall.

Architecture Day 2025
July 2025
How to fill vacancies and gaps? How to turn vacancies and gaps into potential? These questions were the focus of this year’s Architecture Day. We are delighted that we were able to open the doors to our projects twice as part of the day of action. Firstly to the Deckerstraße depot and then, almost exclusively, to the Haus des Tourismus, which will only open in a few weeks’ time.
Both projects are a good example of how the potential of existing structures can be utilised and sometimes even used for completely different purposes, as in the case of the Haus des Tourismus, which was once a fashion store in its former life.
Many thanks to all visitors for their interest and the exciting discussions!
