Casa Mellifera - Nature Information Centre Ludwigsburg
The fascination of earth building Since the mechanisation of the construction process and the industrial production of building materials, building with earth has been a marginal topic in construction. Building with earth is currently experiencing a renaissance, which we believe is due to three aspects: In close cooperation with the city of Ludwigsburg, Prof Andreas Löffler's innovative and practice-orientated teaching [...]
Extension Regenbogenschule, Giessen
The primary school in Giessen needs more space and quality time for pupils and teachers. The need for high-quality all-day care is also growing, which is why we are currently planning to extend the existing school building to include a sports hall with gymnastics room, a canteen and rooms for all-day care. We were able to win the client, the district of Giessen, as part of a competition [...]
Employees: Wieblinger Weg residential home, Heidelberg
Close to the hospital, overlooking the banks of the Neckar, the new building of an employee residence hall of the Heidelberg University Hospital is orientated towards the surrounding buildings in terms of size and grain.

Building group "erlebnisreich wohnen", Balingen
The community-orientated building project "erlebnisreich wohnen" is based on the premise of creating living space that promotes encounters and interaction between residents. In its realisation, the focus is on sophisticated, high-quality and sustainable architecture. The building is divided into six houses grouped around a shared atrium.

Wessenberg School Mariahof, Hüfingen
The Mariahof youth welfare centre has been in existence for over 175 years. Mariahof sees itself as a "home for development" for the children and young people who are cared for and supported by Mariahof. A central component of this understanding is attendance at the special educational Wessenberg School with the aim of achieving a school-leaving qualification. The Wessenberg School in Hüfingen has existed since 1969 and has been [...]
Residential building barn conversion, Karlsruhe
The barn from 1870 was damaged several times during the war; most of the wood inside was rotten. However, the thick natural stone walls of the gables were still usable. This gave rise to the idea of erecting a new building between these two gable walls. Based on the former barn, the timber construction for the ceilings, roof and walls was to be the dominant [...]
Seewiesen day care centre, Wüstenrot
The municipality of Wüstenrot is exemplary in terms of its sustainable energy management and ecological energy supply. The new Seewiesen day care centre is being used as an opportunity to make the municipality's special position in the area of sustainability visible in the building. Sustainability should deliberately not only be understood in terms of energy consumption. Rather, this term should also refer to social sustainability and [...]
Residential building, Stuttgart
In its design and spatial composition, the house responds to the narrow plot, the 27-year-old development plan and the client's desire for a sustainable and aesthetically minimalist home for themselves and their many guests. The walls and roof are made of natural slate, into which solar cells are integrated almost invisibly on the roof. [...]
Canteen Europaschule, Karlsruhe
Eating together is one of the most important cultural events, especially for children. Although the canteen is required to be a large, column-free space, it should still be a place that is different from a canteen. The conditions are ideal due to the special nature of the location - at the end of the school courtyard, which is surrounded on three sides. To prevent this open space from being [...]
Passive house, Hagenbach
The PlusEnergy house is located in an older building area in Hagenbach in the Palatinate. Due to its extremely high insulation standard (passive house) and the passive and active utilisation of solar energy, the building supplies more energy than it consumes. The load-bearing structure consists of a timber tong construction with a visible board stacked ceiling. The building envelope and roof are made of [...]
