Kjaer og Richter opted for underground exhibition zones and a new build boasting oscillating Petersen Tegl bricks as the annex to the CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark.

In its latest project, the Reinier de Graaf Hospital, the Dutch firm EGM architecten explicitly references the city’s history, albeit in an abstract way.

The office building designed by Schellen Architekten focuses firmly on energy saving – by means of solar PV, concrete core activation and color shading elements by Colt.

RMIG has many kinds of sun protection to offer, with shading elements made of perforated sheet metal and expanded metal, individually designed and manufactured for each project.

It is a minor debate often conducted between architects: Is less really more or is less simply less, or, (we recall how Robert Venturi provocatively quipped “Less is bore”) is less perhaps even boring?

For the new museum building of the European Hansemuseum in Lübeck the architects selected a double-skin façade featuring bricks by Petersen Tegl.

EMKC’s Karen Choi used colored acoustic panels courtesy of Buzzi to transform the dull office rooms in a high-rise into a highly varied office world.

For the new German Federal Ministry of Education and Research building in Berlin Heinle, Wischer und Partner have prioritized a quality interior, too – right through to the door hinge systems by Simonswerk.

The restaurant area in Peppe's is an invitingly bright room with generous window fronts and a porcelain tiled floor, whose vibrant shades of grey and the charming and unusually small format of Mosa's tiles catch the eye of the visitor.

To match the elegant façade of St Martin Tower in Frankfurt, MSM Meyer Schmitz-Morkramer Architekten chose slender light stelae from Ewo’s “EL” line that can nevertheless house an astonishing amount of technology.

Be it on the façade or at a workstation: Ado Lights’ luminaires place the Düsseldorf office building “Clara und Robert” in the right light.
