The move of the showroom of Malermeister AHLE GmbH to new premises offered the opportunity to redesign the contact between customers and the painting company. Also the unique selling proposition of the company AHLE in the region of Paderborn, the distribution and processing of English paints, varnishes and wallpapers of the company "Farrow & Ball", is newly staged.The traditional English company served as inspiration for the classic English furniture and fittings. The very high-quality lacquered joinery, with solid wood panels made of oak and porcelain handles, stand in stark contrast to the raw room shell. Here, the use of noble floor, ceiling and wall designs was deliberately avoided and all technical and constructional elements were... More

In the unused cafeteria of the Paderborn Fraunhofer Institute, a modern coworking space called "Idea Engine" has been created. Here workshops are held that bring together science and industry for futurology and product innovation. The image of the Future Workshop also serves as a design principle: an unpolished workshop character is intended to create a creative atmosphere.The four areas of the 220m² large area divide the space thanks to an industrial-style glass partition wall: in the "Ideation Space" there is plenty of room for brainstorming. Large whiteboard areas, mobile desks and a seating stand create a multifunctional space for coworking, presentation and creativity.The "Creation Space" serves as a workshop for developing protot...

The design of the office building was developed from the Connext logo. The airspace with its bridges connects four square structures of different sizes in a cross shape.In the individual structures, the workplaces are separated by glass partitions with sliding glass doors. This floods the combination zone in the middle of the square surfaces with light. The flexibility of the building is evident not only in the different floor areas, but also in the design with cavity floors and easily movable partitions: The floor plans of the offices can be adapted as required.To the outside, the four building structures with their stone façades appear rather massive. The mullion-and-transom façade between the cubes is set back and allows li... More

Human life paths are dynamic and subject to cycles. It is therefore desirable to create forms of housing that can react flexibly to the needs of people and life situations. The "Grünebaumstraße" project, with a gross floor area of 4,700 m², takes this flexibility into account. All apartments can be connected and used for living and/or working. The building has been planned barrier-free and has become a house with a wide variety of tenants due to its changeability.For example, the student flat share lives between a young family with a handicapped child in a wheelchair, the father has a small apartment added as an office, and an older couple who have sold their large single-family home.The ground floor of the building is offic...

The building complex with a gross floor area of 35,000 m² for the ORGA card systems sees itself as a built strategy of the future-open building: Growth of the company and constant change of the working processes require a new definition of the working world.The building is located in an industrial area and describes its context itself. The staggered arrangement of the pavilions maximizes the external impact of all 850 workplaces. Group offices, meeting zones, laboratories or assembly areas can change in a team-oriented manner. The casino accentuates the green campus of the complex: its front welcomes arriving guests and forms the entrance with the entrance pavilion. Its long side forms a small square with cherry trees together with the... More

The Rathauspassage Paderborn is the result of an initiative by private builders. By converting the old company buildings of the F. Schöningh publishing house, a sequence of new urban spaces has been created, connecting Rosenstraße with Jühenplatz and Rathausplatz.The ground floor zones were completely redesigned for small-scale retail trade and enriched with gastronomic and cultural uses. The upper floors are reserved for offices, surgeries and apartments. The interventions of gutting, renovation and supplementary new buildings have created a lively mix with an unmistakable character. The passages, courtyards and alleys were designed in connection with the old network of paths in Paderborn's city centre. More

With the Zukunftsmeile ("future mile"), a research and development cluster for product and production innovations was created in Ostwestfalen-Lippe. The economy provides the questions, the universities place their interdisciplinary knowledge at the service of project implementation.The first building block of this initiative has been realised with the research building for 'Intelligent Technical Systems' in 2011. The cubic building is placed in the context of the ensemble of the Heinz Nixdorf Institute, the HNF Museum Forum and the b.i.b / University of Applied Sciences of the Economy.Together with the boulevard, the new building will extend the entire complex to the southeast towards the extension area of the campus. It will thus be the st... More
