The historic row of houses at Oberamteistraße 28–32, together with the surviving basement of the ‘Stone House’ that once occupied no. 34 before its demolition in 1972, forms one of Reutlingen’s oldest surviving groups of buildings.

The new construction represents a classic architectural style from the 1950s. Our approach is to view projects holistically, placing people at the center. "Human-centered design" guides all our projects. The goal was to create an area-efficient, open office layout with high demands on room acoustics and quality. Therefore, the intention was to maximize the volume of space. Suspended ceilings were omitted in the open office structures. The increased ceiling area due to the cap ceiling was reinforced with fireproof plaster, which also meets the required sound absorption for the work zones, making the existin... More
