Projects
Habitat Lichterfelder Allee
The project at Lichterfelder Allee 4-6 in Teltow represents a well-thought-out urbanization and densification of Ruhlsdorfer Platz. Directly opposite the square, which is currently being redesigned, the new building provides a harmonious complement to the existing surrounding development.
The new building comprises five upper floors, with the top two floors set back, creating generous terrace spaces. Starting from the first floor, the building protrudes towards the street, which not only improves light conditions but also establishes a clear urban connection to the square, integrating the building into the urban environment.
Particular emphasis was placed on a resource-efficient construction method. The load-bearing exterior walls made of sand-lime brick and wood fiber insulation allow for a breathable structure, eliminating the need for ventilation systems. Red external blinds offer integrated sun protection and contribute to the aesthetic quality of the façade, which is clad with ecological bricks. The building offers 23 compact residential units, specifically designed to meet the growing demand for small, efficient living spaces.
Automotive School Centre
The extension for a learning center was constructed in a confined space within a city block. The building includes a workshop hall with testing stations and adjacent seminar rooms, as well as an event hall on the upper floor. The clear floor plan simplifies orientation within the building. Project management was carried out for Numrich Albrecht Klumpp Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH. Photos by Adel Bikulov.
Community Centre Bettenhausen
As a community center for a small village in Hesse, the design of an ecological multipurpose building by Archiformus plays a central role in the identity of the village. The building, which houses a fire station, library, youth center, and event hall, impresses not only with its harmonious combination of uses but also with its identity-shaping spatial design.

The building will be completed in 2025.
