🏆 AWARD-NOMINATION The nominations for the immobilienmanager Award 2025 were announced last week - and it is a very special honour for us that our GEMA headquarters in Berlin is one of the three nominated projects in the ‘New Construction Project Development’ category. 🏗 Sustainable Design & Construction GEMA's new Berlin headquarters opened last year, and our planning focussed on the well-being and health of the 270 employees. The timber hybrid building was mainly constructed with local and regional companies. In addition to the supporting structure, ecological materials were also used for the insulation: Cellulose (façade), wood fibre (roof) and mineral wool (solid areas). In combination with effective sun protection, highly efficient lighting and a photovoltaic system, emissions can be reduced by around 80 per cent. DGNB Platinum certification is being sought. 💚 Now it's time to keep fingers crossed until the jury announces the final decision on 6 March in Cologne!

📅 PANEL DISCUSSION Next week, BAU - the world's leading trade fair for architecture, materials and systems - will be hosting a special DGNB show under the motto ‘How sustainable building works’. Between the many presentations, short seminars and network meetings, a number of experts from the fields of sustainability will also be coming together for a panel discussion on Monday.  The question ‘More than green claims: What architects really need to know from manufacturers’ will be discussed by Julian Gaviria (Head of Sustainable Transformation, HPP Architekten), Christoph Kluesener (ESG Manager, Sievert SE), Prof. Amandus Samsøe Sattler (DGNB President, co-founder and owner of ensømble Studio Architektur), Michael Scharpf (Head of Sustainable Building, Holcim Germany) and Dr. Thomas Schlenker (SVP Digitalisation/IT & Sustainability, Schüco). The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Christine Lemaitre (Managing Director of DGNB e.V.). The discussion panel will bring together the perspectives of manufacturers and architects. The new sustainability declaration for building products, which was developed as part of the ‘Phase Sustainability’ initiative, will also be presented for the first time. 💚 Come along and look forward to an exciting and inspiring discussion!

✔ HPPy TEAMWORK   Shortly before the end of the year, the Düsseldorf HPP team came together in 2024 to design the walls of our HUB.   🖼️ Re/View the Next The basis for this was our historical image material on the walls of the exhibition ‘Re/View the Next: A Discursive Collage on Aims, Challenges and Innovations’ at the Aedes Gallery in Berlin. The small-format images, over 500 in total, have now been reused and distributed across the three floors of our HUBs along the staircase. The historical images, starting with projects from the 1950s, illustrate the diversity of projects realised by HPP up to the present day.   💚 We had a lot of fun selecting and fastening the pictures, some of which we attached with VR glasses at lofty heights with millimetre precision. The historical oeuvre inspires us every day anew in our work, with which we would like to fill the still white areas of the coming years with beautiful further project results.   Photos: HPP Architekten GmbH   #HPPArchitekten #RethinkingArchitecture #Re/ViewtheNext HPP Architekten GmbH

🎄HPPy HOLIDAYS   The entire HPP family wishes you a Merry Christmas, good health and a positive start to 2025! 💫   2024 was another eventful year - from the incorporation of +grün Landschaftsarchitekten into our company structure, the presentation of our specially developed AI tool vizz and the transformation of our Düsseldorf HUB into a discussion platform as part of our Re/View the Next Discourse. We were delighted to win a number of competitions: Cologne Justice Centre, ‘Middenzaal’ Theater aan het Vrijthof Maastricht, Park + Ride Kralingse Zoom Rotterdam and the Cultural Center and City & Commune Office in Piaseczno Poland. In addition, our HPP team showed sporting ambition and took part in numerous sporting events. The Next Level process was also driven forward with particular commitment, and there was also a lively exchange of knowledge among colleagues in our Werkstatt- and Bargespräche as well as our HPP Insights. We would like to thank everyone with whom we were able to spend the year together and look forward to 2025 with confidence!   #2024 #2025 #TheNext #merrychristmas #happynewyear #HPPArchitekten #HPPArchitects #ONEHPP HPP Architekten GmbH

💚 Collaborating for a greener Media Harbour. We are delighted that the greening of the traffic island on Speditionstrasse has been given the go-ahead. Fundraising for our project has started. We hope that this initial impulse will set the course for further steps towards a greener redesign of the Media Harbour and thus for the improvement of the urban climate and the preservation of biodiversity. #HPPArchitekten #HPPArchitects #urbangreen #greeningthecity #urbanjungle #biodiversity #urbanclimate

✔ PROJECT MILESTONE   Final spurt on the construction site of our revitalization project Lohrheidestadion in Bochum-Wattenscheid! The shell of the new building part has already been completed and the interior work and outdoor facilities will be finished in the coming months. At the same time, the roof of the existing east stand will be re-roofed.    🏗 Urban Transitions Following its completion next year, the Lohrheidestadion will be the only sports venue in North Rhine-Westphalia that can host German outdoor athletics championships. The modernised stadium will also host the athletics competitions at the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games. A sports building with a particularly high profile for the entire region. And an important component of Wattenscheid's health-oriented urban development: the sports and exercise areas serve local clubs and the surrounding neighbourhood.     💚 We are already looking forward to the stadium reopening with great anticipation and can hardly wait to experience the atmosphere in the stadium live.   Source: City of Bochum   #HPPArchitekten #RethinkingArchitecture #UrbanTransitions #revitalization #modernization #sustainability #bochum #lohrheidestadion Stadt Bochum Baugesellschaft WALTER HELLMICH GmbH HPP Architekten GmbH

✔ PROJECT MILESTONE Our heylo Düsseldorf project is making rapid progress. The basic fit-out of the existing building on Schwannstrasse has now been completed and the office building has been refurbished to ESG standards. Tenant planning for the multi-tenant property is now well underway and we are sharing some insights here! 🏗 Adaptive Re-Use heylo, formerly known as ‘Spherion’, was completed back in the 2000s by architects Deilmann Koch: an identity-forming structure with an elliptical roof and coloured façade elements. The building has now been given a contemporary look and feel as well as a general energy overhaul. The office building not only offers state-of-the-art workspaces, but as a special highlight also a newly designed, building-high atrium as a green oasis.  💚 We are already looking forward to the date of completion and would like to thank all project partners for the successful collaboration.   Photos: © Ralph Richter #HPPArchitects #RethinkingArchitecture #AdaptiveReuse #workingenvironments HPP Architekten GmbH +grün GmbH Landschaftsarchitektur

Ein ganz besonderer Dank geht an unsere Landschaftsarchitekten von +grün GmbH Landschaftsarchitektur. Das Forest Home Konzept trägt dazu bei, dass die markante Architektur des One Plaza so richtig in Szene gesetzt wird. One Plaza ist bestes Beispiel dafür, dass Architektur und Landschaftsarchitektur in enger Zusammenarbeit entstehen sollten. Umso mehr freut es uns, dass +grün GmbH Landschaftsarchitektur seit diesem Jahr zur HPP Unternehmensstruktur dazugehören. Die enge Kollaboration bereichert unsere Arbeit sehr, denn Aspekte wie Lebensqualität und Ökologie haben nun noch einmal einen ganz anderen Stellenwert in unserer Arbeit.

📗 PUBLICATION Our Zech Haus project was published in the publication ‘ESSEN | RUHRMETROPOLE. Stadtentwicklung 21+’. The book, edited for the city of Essen by Martin Harter, Dr Dieter Nellen and Prof. Uli Paetzel, is dedicated to strategies and formats, spaces and projects of recent urban and regional development in Essen.   🏗 City Ecosystems The Zech Haus completes the urban space with the Grugahalle and the exhibition centre. The light-coloured high-rise building is horizontally structured, the green façade is reminiscent of the identity-forming folds of the Grugahalle. The focus of the planning was on a particularly sustainable and smart high-rise building: the cantilevered balconies with planting and the terraces provide natural shading and thus reduce the heat input. A  CO2-friendly energy supply is achieved through photovoltaics, geothermal energy and sensors that ensure smart building operation. Furthermore, the greenery is irrigated using collected rainwater.   💚 The city of Essen is going through a time of upheaval and we are looking forward to further developments.    Further information about the book: https://lnkd.in/eG3cKTF2   Visualisations: © Willmore   #HPPArchitekten #RethinkingArchitecture #CityEcosystems #sustainability #bürohochhaus #Essen
