Innovative Industrial Estate | Schwetzingen

Multiple commission 1st prize | In collaboration with schneider+schumacher

A modern industrial estate is to be built on the former Tompkins Barracks site in Schwetzingen, bringing together the listed areas and buildings on the site into an ensemble. The design by Schneider+Schumacher came out on top and was awarded first prize. The client is the city of Schwetzingen in cooperation with the state of Baden-Württemberg and the Federal Real Estate Agency (BImA).

The site will be used for offices, services, production and craft workshops. Existing buildings are to be integrated and further developed – an old armoured garage can be turned into a leisure centre. A start-up and innovation centre can provide important impetus in the industrial estate.

The flexibility of the building structure also creates a wide range of possible uses for as yet unknown challenges. Designed as an innovative work-life campus, it is not just a workplace, but a living and recreational space.
