Congratulations to our competition team: Our design for the new children's house with school extension on the Rainbrunnen educational campus in Schorndorf, which we developed with Jetter Landschaftsarchitekten and wh-p Ingenieure, was awarded 2nd prize! We are very happy about this!
“The two-storey children's house, designed as a polygonal, four-winged structure, mediates with its different geometries between the Fröbelschule and the daycare center to the north and interlocks with the surrounding open space,” was the verdict of the jury chaired by Prof. Zvonko Turkali (Frankfurt a.M.).

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!
