Here we go...! The LVR-Committee decides to build the new office high-rise at Ottoplatz in Cologne.
An activity-based office concept, future-oriented building digitalisation and sustainable construction in the sense of the Cradle to Cradle principles are part of the architectural concept. In addition, a large part of the roof areas as well as the inner courtyard will be intensively greened. These green areas not only provide places for employees to linger and relax, but also make an important contribution to reduce fine dust pollution and increase
biodiversity.
Important concerns of the local residents were taken into account in the planning.
The new building should be completed by the end of 2025.

‘Huis van Stad en Regio’ in Dordrecht
As one out of four studios we recently participated in a design competition for the new city hall and library in Dordrecht, NL.
The submission of the design concepts was followed by an exhibition at the beginning of February, where citizens were able to comment and vote for their favourite design. These
recommendations will be forwarded to the independent jury to be included in their decision... fingers crossed, please 🤞

Let's TWIST! We are so excited about our latest competition success...
Last year, we came in second with our proposal for an urban development concept at Schwannstrasse 3 in Düsseldorf, #gatewayduesseldorf, the first prize was awarded to Kohn Pedersen Fox from New York. Now another high-rise building is to be realised at this well-established office location, which will emphasise and enhance the city entrance at #kennedydamm in line with the "Gateway"-project. And this time we were able to succeed and win the 1st prize... YIPYIP!! For both projects, a land-use plan procedure will be carried out after the competition in order to give the new urban development the appropriate legal basis. The floors of the tower mediate between the base and the top and therefore perform a twist as they move upwards, creating a slender waistline that optimises the sunlight and ventilation of the residential buildings from the southeast. The tall, slender building matches the special location directly on Kennedy Bridge with its long-distance effect.
