Werner Sobek was the winner of a competition for the redesign of Esslingen`s bus station. The central bus station of Esslingen was architecturally improved through a new canopy. Werner Sobek designed a curved canopy which is derived from the topography of the surrounding landscape. Through bulging on the long sides, the roofed area opens up to the surrounding landscape of vineyards and hills. The roof structure stands on single steel columns. The structure is made of a curved steel grid with the basic structure of a triangle. The cladding is done with triangle shaped glass panels which have the same dimensions as the basic structure of the grid. The use of opaque and transparent glass panels respectively provides perfect conditions for the people waiting under the roof. The covered area always receives natural light. At the same time glare and overheating during summer time are avoided.

The Palmscher Park in Esslingen is a former army barracks from the late Wilhelmine era. It was transformed into a residential complex at the turn of the millennium and has become a very popular residential area thanks to its attractive hillside situation, only ten minutes walking distance from Esslingen town centre. When an agency moved out of a loft space at the short end of a two-storey block, a family with two small children sought to transform the site into their new home. An open and spacious living space with differentiated living zones and tantalising visual perspectives was created across 400 square metres.
