Educational Center with an Adult Education School, Music School and Kindergarten / Bez+Kock Architekten

Nina Vuga — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 07:00:00 +0000

A multi-generational educational center featuring a kindergarten, music school, and adult education center was to be designed directly on the city moat of Rottenburg's medieval historic center. The adjacent, historically protected school building from 1887 was to be integrated into the project. To carry on the history of this place and honor the quality of the historic school building, a contemporary twin building was constructed next to it.

Georg Kerschensteiner Vocational School / Bez+Kock Architekten

Hadir Al Koshta — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The extension to the vocational school ties in with the terraced existing building from the early 1980s in terms of urban planning and complements it with a distinctive building front at the southern end. The previous cul-de-sac situation has been converted into a ring road.

University of Applied Sciences for Beverage Technology – Lecture Hall Building and Logistics Laboratory / Bez+Kock Architekten

Hadir Al Koshta — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Lecture Hall Building and Logistics Laboratory - The two neighboring buildings complete the historic nucleus of the Geisenheim University of Applied Sciences, which emerged from the former Royal Prussian Institute for Fruit and Wine Growing, founded in 1872. Today, the next generation of winemakers is trained here in theory and practice. The lecture hall building and logistics laboratory together form the entrance to the eastern university campus, which is marked by a magnificent cedar tree on Von-Lade-Straße.

New Apostolic Church / Bez+Kock Architekten

Hadir Al Koshta — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The brightly shimmering, 15-meter-high new building of the New Apostolic Church rises out of a tree-lined meadow flanked by the multi-lane federal road 294, a parking lot and the adjacent railroad line. The sculpturally shaped, polygonal structure marks the western entrance to the city of Pforzheim and is immediately recognizable as a sacred building. Its sloping roof rises from east to west and is crowned at its highest point by a striking skylight above the church hall.

Green Experience Center in Luisenpark / Bez+Kock Architekten

Paula Pintos — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 03:00:00 +0000

One of the special qualities of Luisenpark is that the landscape elements allow the structural elements to recede into the background. Therefore, in our design, the new buildings were not developed as buildings in the classical sense, but as organically shaped, single-story pavilions that are surrounded by the surrounding park.

Music Academy Staufen / Bez+Kock Architekten

Hadir Al Koshta — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The site of the Music Academy of the Federation of German Wind Music Associations is located in an industrial estate on the north-western outskirts of Staufen im Breisgau. The new building responds to its faceless surroundings with a powerful architectural appearance. The building, clad homogeneously with water-struck clinker brick, defines a new, identity-creating address. A connecting foyer opens up the striking square new building in a north-south direction.

Town Hall and Community Center / Bez+Kock Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 06:00:00 +0000

The extension of the historic town hall in Holzwickede offered the opportunity to merge the market square in terms of urban development and to give the town hall itself a new wholeness. The listed town hall, built in 1915, was preserved and recognizable as a solitary structure. At the same time, an angular structure was added to it in such a way that a new urban solitaire was created in which the existing building is a self-evident part of the larger whole.

Daycare and Family Center in Miltenberg / Bez+Kock Architekten

Paula Pintos — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Can you imagine a more charming location for the new construction of a daycare center? The monastery garden of the former Franciscan monastery built in the 17th century is a green oasis in the historic city center of Miltenberg. A place that combines centrality and shelter in an ideal way: Located just a few steps from Engelplatz in the center of Miltenberg, the new daycare center is sheltered by the mighty red sandstone wall that encloses the monastery garden of the former Franciscan monastery.

ICS Integrated Comprehensive School / Bez+Kock Architekten

Paula Pintos — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The site of the Integrated Comprehensive School is located at Burgfeldsweide, south of the city center of Rinteln (Lower Saxony). A simple and geometrically clear structure, designed for a maximum of 900 pupils, complements the ensemble on the school site opposite the existing high school. With its calm, rectangular geometry, the two-story new building formulates an urban counterpoint to the evolved structure of the existing building.

Museum and Cultural Forum Arnsberg / Bez+Kock Architekten

Paula Pintos — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 06:00:00 +0000

The Sauerland-Museum, located in the historically listed „Landsberger Hof“, has been expanded to become Museum and Cultural Forum South Westphalia. To achieve this, the existing historical building from 1605 was extensively renovated in a first construction phase and the permanent exhibition was redesigned. Phase two comprised an extension building, located on the directly adjacent, 45-degree sloped lot which leads down to Ruhrstrasse and the Ruhr River. This new sculptural construction, whose ground floor lies nearly 20 meters below the entrance level of the prestigious existing building, now enables the museum to house top-level temporary exhibitions of interregional stature.

Mainzer Tor Museum Depot, City Archive and Youth Center / Bez+Kock Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 06 Oct 2019 08:00:00 +0000

The city of Miltenberg is characterised by its particular location near the river Main between the Forest of Odes and the Spessart Mountains. The well-preserved historical center with many half-timbered houses stretches out along the Main and is limited on its back side by a steep hillside, which in the past was used as a natural stone quarry. The here removed red Main sandstone dominates the whole city.

Citizen Service Center of the City of Ulm / Bez+Kock Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 09:00:00 +0000

The new construction of the Citizen Service Center of the City of Ulm brings together municipal services spread over several sites in one structure, making it the "second town hall" of the city. The building is located only a few metres away from Ulm Main Station, on Olgastrasse, a busy street which traces the perimeter of the medieval city wall.

Science Center for the Augustinianum Secondary School / Bez+Kock Architekten

Andreas Luco — Thu, 02 May 2019 08:00:00 +0000

The City of Greven (Münsterland) is located in a region with a great tradition in brick construction. Also the main building of the Augustinianum from the 1960s has a striking exposed brickwork and so it seemed sensible to design the new construction with a brick façade. The selected waterstruck brick with its loamy, brown-grey colour is burnt only a few kilometers away. Its colours merge watercolour-like into one another, whereby the darker heads put distinctive accents on the façade built up in a wild pattern.

Civic Center in Lohr am Main / Bez+Kock Architekten

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 16 Feb 2019 13:00:00 +0000

The Civic Center in Lohr am Main, Germany, occupies an important urban site at the entrance to the town, creating a cultural destination for music, theater and conference events. The Civic Center is a seven-cornered polygonal form. Due to the polygonal shape, a house without a back is created, which can respond individually to the diversity of the adjacent urban spaces. Still, a public plaza orients the building towards the town center.

Anneliese Brost Music Forum / Bez+Kock Architekten

Rayen Sagredo — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 03:00:00 +0000

The concert hall is an ensemble, created by two new concert halls which surround an existing church building and transform it into a foyer, together forming the Anneliese Brost Musicforum. Both the existing and the new facades consist of the same facing brick. The facade concept calls for the new brick to be refined with white plaster, enriching the dialog between the two elements.
