HFBK studio house in Hamburg completed

The long-needed extension to the Hamburg University of Fine Arts HFBK was realised by Winking · Froh  Architekten after winning the competition in 2017 and completed in January 2022. The studio building was created as a free-standing cube next to the main building by Fritz Schumacher from 1913. The clinker facade covers the cube like a buoyant fabric. In their layering, the diagonally cut window reveals arranged in opposite directions create an image rich in tension. The handover of the studio building to the users will also mark the opening of the annual exhibition for 2022.

1st Prize of the Housing Award for Wohnhöfe Pergolenviertel

Winking - Froh Architekten have been awarded 1st prize in the Hamburg 2020 Housing Prize for the residential courtyards in the Pergolenviertel. The jury, consisting of Prof. Dietmar Eberle, Baumschlager Eberle, Tim Heide, Heide von Beckerath and Franz-Josef Höing, Chief Building Director in Hamburg, voted unanimously in favour of awarding us the Housing Prize; we had entered for the Ideas Prize. The award, which is presented by the Architekturcentrum under the patronage of Senator Dr. Dorothee Stapelfeldt, aims to "highlight special structural and design qualities as well as integrative and sustainable solutions in housing construction", according to the text of the award. In the Pergolenviertel, we succeeded in creating leeway for the high-quality façades within the narrow specifications of the design guidelines by means of a well thought-out organisation of the internal development and a sensible arrangement of the special uses, which remained within the budget.
