Brick-red terracotta elements generate an interesting play of colour on the façades. Although the building is uniform in colour, shadows let the narrow ceramic rods – which are positioned with space between – appear much darker than the flat, large-format panels. In the process, a dual-colour impression is created. Apart from the ceramic, the pagoda […]
The largest shopping and recreation centre in all of Central Eastern Europe – in terms of area – is located in the Upper Silesian city of Katowice.

What appears to be a modern new building is in reality a very successful renovation project. The administration building is now barely recognisable after the renovation. Open fronts, coordinated architectural details like the elegant two-colour scheme, and the balanced combination of glass and ceramic surface elements fully live up to the demands of a contemporary

The three spectacular editions to the college campus recall Nottingham‘s industrial era while embodying a totally new and unconventional college architecture.

The glazed

This spectacular tower is divided into three quite different buildings: the lower part featuring dark natural stone forms the basis for the striking and vividly coloured central part and the dramatic steel/glass structure at the apex.

This attractive block of offices and apartments has a southern aspect facing the Aasee Lake in Münster and has been clearly designed to co-exist with rather than challenge the neighbouring architecture.
