  • Three more awards for Karlsruhe Rail Tunnel

    STAATSPREIS BAUKULTUR 2024
    Awarded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry for Regional Development and Housing
    With the Baden-Württemberg State Prize for Building Culture, the state of Baden-Württemberg honours particularly innovative, exemplary and transferable solutions for the diverse planning and construction challenges in the state's cities and municipalities. 27 projects in nine categories were honoured with state awards and commendations in 2024. In a short video, Prof Ludwig Wappner, Managing Director of allmannwappner, presents the project and the lighting concept of the undergound stops on the occasion of the award. See video.

    HUGO-HÄRING-LANDESPREIS 2024
    Awarded by the Association of German Architects BDA Baden-Württemberg
    The award procedure has two stages. In the first stage, the Hugo Häring awards are presented. The light rail tunnel has now also reached the second stage: the Hugo Häring State Prize. From the jury's statement: "Underground stations are generally spaces that can be described as non-places. They do not have an unusual and identity-forming character. The light rail tunnel designed by allmannwappner with its holistic approach to station architecture fundamentally changes this rule." More information

    BEISPIELHAFTES BAUEN KARLSRUHE 2024

The jury described the new underground station by allmannwapper as an "example of the transformation to a transport-friendly city". Chaired by architect and urban planner Markus Weismann, it assessed 92 submissions for Exemplary Building in Karlsruhe according to criteria such as sustainability, design, urban context and handling of existing buildings.

  • Universelle Ulm in Science Park III

    The sky is the limit - during the construction of Universelle Ulm in Science Park III, designed by architects Mühlich + Partner. Our colleague Vincent used a drone to capture impressions of the entire building complex with all three towers as well as brilliant detail shots. We published the film and photos on Instagram and LinkedIn.

    Science Park III and Universelle Ulm are part of the ‘Science City Ulm’. The idea behind this is to create an attractive environment for students and to offer optimal working and research conditions for business and research. According to the city of Ulm, around 11,500 people work in the Science City, including the clinics, and over 14,000 students are enrolled at the universities. The three towers of the Universelle Ulm are intended to create additional space for companies to settle in, and the rooms are flexibly adaptable for start-ups through to globally active companies.

    Many thanks for the great cooperation to all those involved in the construction!

  • Construction Progress Residential Tower Meiller Gärten

    An eleven-storey residential tower block is being built in a prominent location as the entrance to the new Meiller Gärten neighbourhood in Munich. Allmannwappner won an international competition for the design and realisation of this new building. Wenzel + Wenzel are responsible for LPH 6 to 8.

    The design architects describe their concept as follows: ‘The high-rise and low-rise building correspond to the cubature of the masterplan. The high-rise building takes up the angle of the low-rise building in its structure - the result is a rotation of 45 degrees to the building contour. This optimises the alignment of the floor plans with regard to the direction of the sky and noise emissions from the railway and road. Like a pleated blind, the unfolded façade creates a sculptural and specific appearance. In some cases, protected balconies are created that cannot be seen and generate added value for the flats. The same applies to the integrated façade greening, which also highlights the sustainability aspirations of the entire neighbourhood. The use of renewable energies and the use of sustainable and ecological building materials consistently pursue this claim.’

    We wish all colleagues involved good construction progress!
