We were commissioned to build the corporate HQ of the international FUNKE Media Group at their corporate home base in Essen. A longitudinal volume provides the backbone of the urban development site called “Grüne Mitte”. Three annexes extending from it point like fingers to the outdoor spaces of the adjacent residential estates. The endpoint of the urban ensemble is the FUNKE Media Tower.

The high-rise in the north of the city of Linz brings lively and diversified facilities for living, working, and education to the urban fabric. This new neighborhood building block is part of a consistent urban-design ensemble and helps create a varied and livable cityscape.

How do we live in the city of tomorrow? With the exhibition Wohn(t)räume - Learning from , we deal with the manifold demands on future living. We see the anticipation of future living environments as part of the requirements of today's architecture.

Last week our exhibition in Stuttgart to the topic #wohnenmorgen started. The exhibition still goes on until May 14, 2017, come by! Architekturgalerie am Weißenhof: Am Weißenhof 30, 70191 Stuttgart, Germany

Both new buildings combine a common design principle. Elegant, glassy bodies rest on playful, wave-shaped supporting structures, which allow the outside space to flow through the ground floor spaces. The serving functions each form the base for the primary rooms.

For decades the closed façade of the Stadtwerke- building with its graffiti, which already belongs to the townscape, was characteristic for the Elisabethplatz. Because of its rough external impression, the functional construction always conveyed a feeling of imperfection. The south side of the Elisabeth market is now turning into a lively district edge. Sisi gets her crown.
