+ Pavel Zeldovich
For a new district in Hamburg, Oberbillwerder, there will be no parking on street. Instead, several mobility hubs will be built within walking distance to the residents.
MH 7 is on the main business axis and therefore comes with advanced features.
Efficient split-level parking with a lively ground floor zone, a face for the front of the square as a vertical extension of the public space up to the roof level with a community theatre as a platform for OBW.

As in the previous project, a multi-storey car park, but here fully automated.
A dynamic ground floor zone with restaurants and shops. A lively rooftop landscape with cross-generational functions (kindergarten, co-working day care for the elders). Housed in between an industrial hall with 6 independent automated parking machines, which when dismantled provide the neighborhood with more space for vital feature, as for example by means of a co-working container landscape.
St. Jodokus
2022
Competition entry, third place
church refurbishment
in Waghäusel-Wiesental
visualisation ombrastudio.net
St. Jodokus is the most important building in town. The church is visited less and less and should be adapted secular accordingly.
The church is divided into two parts: a sacred space and a multi functional space. To be able to still fill up the entire church with guests for large celebrations, such as Christmas, we suggest to install a partition wall that can be hydraulically lowered into the ground. Thus the space can be divided as required.
In the sacred space, the altar is moved forward and the benches are arranged concentrically.
A reinterpretation of the confessional is hanging from the ceiling in the form of capsule-like beehives.
Haus K
2022
ongoing project
Freiburg
A villa that does justice to its complex but beautiful location with views of nature and a clear separation from the street.
The central location of the fireplace is celebrated vertically over two floors. Rooms and open space are arranged around it.
A deep all-round eaves, reminiscent of old Turkish konaks (wooden house villas) provides plenty of shade.
West Space
2022
lost in competition
Ettlingen, Germany
Between the center of Ettlingen and its industrial zone, a new neighborhood is planned.
We suggested integrating the planned railway depot into the design and enlivening the roof area with office spaces and luscious park.
Thus, the project separates two connected parts. Yellow (apartments) and Red (shops) form a triangular square that can be accessed via ramps with blue (offices).
We would have doubled the space available. The promoter has decided against it.
A storage just 30 centimeters deep holds the treasures of a kitchen.
The minimal depth offers an overview of the storage at a glance
The division of the compartment sizes is based on the Fibonacci sequence.
When closed, the Earthling looks like an abstract solid; when open, various formations can be seen, including the butterfly, the Empire State and the Swiss Army Knife.

EVOLO Competition entry for
conceptual high rises
German cities are intersected by railway lines. On the one hand they separate cities, on the other hand they are the last open spaces in the inner city area.
Vertical Universities, hospitals, schools, exhibition rooms can be found in the most central area, above the regional train station and an hyper loop connection.
The areas between and on the towers are public spaces. A long-distance bike path runs on top of the hyper loop.

Temple garden
Berlin, 2011
Competition 1st prize
In collaboration with Pavel Zeldovich
The Tempelhof field is a fantastic open space but it lacks diversity.

The historically significant runways are now the main axes.
