09 | 2020 COMPETITION
District Developement Roleber | Bonn
2. Prize | In collaboration with Baufrösche Architekten und Stadtplaner GmbH
The urban design focuses on the "good" neighborhood in the quartier. All building plots are clearly demarked and can utilize the special features of the allocated land for their "own neighborhood" and identity. The preservation of characteristic woody structures in combination with new green structures, a market place with gastronomy and a supermarket increases the qualities of stay and ecology for residents and visitors.

Regional park "Adventure point" | Bad Vilbel
1st Prize
The Bad Vilbel quarry is a cultural, historical and an ecological focal point. It is characterized by its unique spatial character that, coupled with advantageous climate conditions, creates a biodiversity hot-spot close to the city.
In order to make this historical landscape accessible, a design concept has been conceived to optimize the quarry’s potential as an experience point, and also to qualify it as a recreational area for the city of Bad Vilbel; all while respecting the framework of the RheinMain Regional Park.
