This time it was really razor-thin: our team was only beaten by the Schreiber engineers in the nerve-wracking 9-meter shoot-out in the final of the Stuttgart ArchiCup 2024.
Unfortunately, our shooting concept didn't quite work here: “The best goals are the ones where the ball goes in nice and flat at the top.”
Nevertheless, 2nd place was another sensational achievement - congratulations to everyone who took part!

Nice success: our competition design, developed in collaboration with Pfrommer+Roeder Landscape Architects, for the "New Schickhardt Community School, Heusteigstraße branch in Stuttgart" received a honorable mention.

The independent architectural language is very promising," was the verdict of the jury chaired by Prof. Jörg Aldinger (Stuttgart).
