Each year, the award honors outstanding architectural projects and recognizes innovative approaches that shape the future of architecture.

We are all the more delighted that the Biberach Outdoor Pool has made the shortlist for this year’s award—yet another wonderful recognition of our project and our collaborative efforts.

Thank you to our design team and all the specialist planners for the great collaboration!

A few weeks ago, the nationwide cooperative Architects’ Association (ARKO) was founded for architecture professionals. As a joint initiative of the profession, its goal is to develop a shared data infrastructure, enable cross-vendor use, and thereby promote data sovereignty and independence. Transparent, standardized data structures are intended to enhance the quality of digital design and construction.

The initiative is supported by all 16 state architectural associations. As a founding member, we are delighted to be part of this initiative!

We are thrilled that the Porsche Tunnel Club at the MHP Arena has made the shortlist for “The Most Beautiful Restaurants, Hotels, and Bars 2027”! This award from Callwey Verlag recognizes outstanding interior design concepts in the international restaurant and hospitality industries.

The Porsche Tunnel Club is the first of its kind in all of Germany and offers visitors to the MHP Arena an exclusive experience, even on days when VfB Stuttgart isn’t playing.

Thank you to everyone involved and to our project partners for the great collaboration!

We are very pleased that, together with Koeber Landscape Architecture, we were awarded third place in the “Allmandring I Urban Development” competition.

The Allmandring I housing complex in Stuttgart-Vaihingen was built in 1976 and consists of 925 residential units in 33 buildings. The complex is now to be gradually demolished, redeveloped in phases, and adapted to meet the new needs of students—only the building at Allmandring 8a will remain.

Our design focuses on a clearly defined urban boundary along Allmandring. This boundary mediates between the large-scale Physics Institute buildings and the small-scale residential structure within the neighborhood. The buildings create a tranquil setting along the street and are grouped into distinct courtyard communities. The existing student club “Boddschamber” will be preserved and framed by a complementary new building.

The jury particularly highlighted:

“The urban structure allows for a high degree of permeability through the green space starting from the second layer of buildings and provides numerous views into the valley.”

Many thanks to the competition team for this design!

On Saturday, July 11, the second major public participation event regarding the B14 Framework Plan will take place at Leonhardsplatz in Stuttgart-Mitte.

Between 12:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., the summer event “Leonhards Wohnzimmer” invites visitors to rediscover public space and actively participate in shaping the new urban landscape around the B14 and Wilhelmsplatz. During this time, Leonhardsplatz transforms into an urban living room—a place to linger, meet, and exchange ideas.

In a relaxed atmosphere, we will provide information on the results of the participatory process to date, as well as the current status of the framework plan, which we are developing in collaboration with Koeber Landschaftsarchitektur and Inovaplan,

At 4:30 p.m., Markus Weismann will join other invited guests for a living room discussion on process design and opportunities for culture in the new B14 urban space.

Once again, the event is being organized and carried out by Planbarhochdrei.

We’re looking forward to an exciting day and lots of great conversations!
