LA FONCTION OBLIQUE
2025, Dortmund / DE
The basic idea of the design is to transfer the information boards, posters and showcases that are otherwise scattered at tram stops into a new spatial concept. Instead of distributing these information elements on the platform level, they are united under a common roof. These obliquely positioned elements offer a communicative alternative to the otherwise prevailing uncommunicative body posture. The result is a multi-perspective space that gives waiting people a new perspective on themselves and their surroundings. In this way, waiting is transformed from an annoying necessity into a communal and spatially exciting experience.

THE (NEW) YORK
2023-2024, Mannheim / DE
The former office tower, centrally located at the eastern entrance to Mannheim, is to be converted and made future-proof for the use as a hotel. The inner conversion plan is to retain the powerful concrete structure, make it visible and use it for the small-scale subdivision of a hotel. In contrast to these subtle interventions on the inside, the external appearance changes completely. The ribbon façade of the former open office becomes a perforated façade according to the new hotel layout behind it. In total, these interventions pursue the goal of transforming the building into a confident urban block that lives up to its prominent location and new function.
Status: Completed (LP 1-4)

A ROOFED SQUARE AND A CIRCLE
2020-2023, Offenbach a.d. Queich / DE
Single-family house with a focus on a simple, sustainable, and recyclable timer frame construction, which allows a high degree of prefabrication and a high energy efficiency standard. The central element under the gable roof is a floor-to-ceiling built-in that bundles the ancillary rooms and makes private and public areas separable from each other.

DER TEMPEL DES TROTTOIR
2023, Karlsruhe / DE
Mailboxes, trash cans, ATMs, benches, fountains – these are many small objects of the urban space that, like the kiosk, enjoy a rather unimportant existence as purely functional pieces of public infrastructure. But through the concrete behavior we perform there, we allow these micro-architectures to awaken into "temples of the sidewalk" – places of cult and ritual to which we regularly go on pilgrimage in everyday life. The design is therefore not only dedicated to the kiosk as the largest temple, but supplements it with all the other small but characteristic temples of the urban space, houses them and celebrates them all under one common roof.
Status: Competition Proposal
Program: Kiosk

THE 1972 DEMOCRATIC GREEN
2022, Munich / DE
A construction limited to a minimum of material. This serene, light membrane attempts to atmospherically capture the key motifs of the 1972 Olympics – namely the desire for a “democratic green” as well as the roof over the landscape. In addition, modular lightweight structures provide space for the numerous documents and models.
