The chancellery of the Embassy is located in a former villa in Berlin-Zehlendorf. The house was completely restored, converted and expanded for its new utilisation.
Mobile space is a special, very interesting architectural field. Spaces can be set in motion in many different ways. The design of the study is based on a motor-driven moving curtain system which is digitally controlled and used to form spaces changing on an ongoing basis.
Mobile space is a special, very interesting architectural field. Spaces can be set in motion in many different ways. The design of the study is based on a combination of movable (white) objects and fixed (red) objects. The translucent white, stalk-like objects gently move like underwater plants.

The project developed for the ”Asian Development Bank Meeting“ has the low budget of a conference, but still forms an entire exhibit landscape. By reducing the design resources and selecting only few, mostly crude materials, a complex room structure emerges on 2,500 square metres. All surfaces are connected both in terms of content and graphics by “tape designs”.
Two-tier architectural competition
Together with the prison, the annex to the judicial centre is located at the very heart of the historical facility. The building site was put to versatile uses in the past – during the German Empire, the Nazi and GDR regimes, the political turnaround in 1989 – up until today. The design features modern rooms for work and integrates the centrally located heritage building as a memorial and reminder for the present and the future.
Construction planning: building and interior rooms
The German ambassador’s residence in Harare is being completely restored. Above all, the study aimed to develop a restoration strategy for the slate roof, which is an important characteristic of the building. The material can no longer be purchased in the country and its use may result in serious construction defects.

The two upscale, 19th century buildings are located in the vicinity of the ”Place de l‘Étoile“. They are used as an interim accommodation for the Embassy’s chancellery. After the forthcoming move, the plan is to completely restore and renovate the buildings.

Extraordinary substance – The building was originally conceived by Guðjón Samúelsson, Iceland’s most eminent architect, as a residential building. Formed entirely of concrete, down to its ornamental façades, the building embodies a sculptural solidity that demanded a profound dialogue with its material essence throughout the restoration. The original windows, removed in the 1970s, were meticulously reconstructed under heritage supervision — their design rediscovered through extensive research into Reykjavík’s architectural fabric. A project defined by reverence for substance and craftsmanship.
The project was honoured with the Icelandic Heritage Conservation Award.
Direct award / Furniture design
This functionally and artistically perfected piece of furniture is a product for a small series and can be used for all Siemens AG presentations, without prejudice to the rest of the exhibition design.
