What a special evening, we’re delighted to have received two awards for our projects:
Together with wulf architekten, we were awarded the special prize in the category ‘Building in Existing Contexts’ for the Museum Historische Oberamteistraße.
The Ingerkingen multi-purpose hall was also recognized in the same category, receiving an honorable mention in collaboration with Atelier Kaiser Shen Architekten PartGmbB.

In the article ‘Blurring Memory,’ the Museum Historische Oberamteistraße in Reutlingen is featured. We’re pleased to see the project presented in this context.

Last week, an engaging meeting took place as part of our ZIM cooperative project “Development of a software-based modeling and calculation technology for a seamless digital process chain in timber construction” at Biberach University of Applied Sciences.
The focus was on calibrated, materially nonlinear modeling of joint connections in timber construction to enable code-compliant verification. A key step involved component testing on joints subjected to compressive and shear loads to validate the developed modeling methodology.

The formerly closed façade is to be opened up and transformed into a transparent, walkable system of three-dimensional “boxes.” The concept is complemented by a green roofscape with modular box apartments, creating new qualities for living and shared use. For this competition entry, we developed the structural design.

Many thanks to CBA Christian Bergmann Architecture for the inspiring collaboration.

PUBLISHED: We were very pleased to see the Ingerkingen Multipurpose Hall project featured in the current issue of DAB – Deutsches Architekt:innenblatt!
An example of how building within existing structures can conserve resources while simultaneously creating new spatial qualities.

“Building on instead of demolishing: Ingerkingen Multipurpose Hall
A hall from the 1960s that was slated for demolition—yet instead became a model for sustainable building.”

We are very grateful for the outstanding collaboration with wulf architekten during the design phase, as well as with Holzbau Amann GmbH throughout detailed design, fabrication, and assembly.

The start of planning 7.5 years ago also marked the beginning of our dedicated focus on timber construction. In the years since, many remarkable timber structures have been designed, engineered, and realized – yet Oberamteistraße has always remained a truly special project and a continuous place of learning that has accompanied us throughout this entire journey.

To stand here today, in a space where form and structure have become one, feels incredibly special and deeply moving.
