Our station mission project was awarded 1st prize at this year's BDA Hamburg Architecture Award ceremony. We are extremely pleased about this award for our work together with the client Deutsche Bahn InfraGo AG. All first prize winners since 1996 can also be found on the BDA's new online map. We are now represented here with five first prizes and would like to thank the BDA for its commitment to high-quality architecture.

Jury assessment:
The new railway mission on the station forecourt, which was built with great effort, impresses with its striking appearance in public space. With his design, Carsten Roth wanted to make social hardship visible and raise awareness of the need for social commitment. The building was made possible through donations from Hamburg's city society and helps to draw visual attention to this commitment and social missionary work. Simply constructed as a timber frame structure and clad in coloured metal panels, the building block stands out without appearing spectacular. Nothing - neither colours nor building materials - is chosen randomly or routinely. The employees and those in need cope well with all spatial and functional decisions. The transparency of the facade - with sliding shutters, sun protection and more - does justice to the fact that the public cannot ignore the plight of those in need of help, but the aid rooms can be used completely protected from everything public. Looking: yes. Looking in: no. The simple building sets the important, essential work of the railway mission in a spatial and symbolic charming setting. The result is anything but a shed that one would be ashamed to enter. Social care work belongs in the middle of society - this architectural message could be just as relevant for the renewal of the railway infrastructure as it is for cities and municipalities that want to make social work visible not as a burden but as a natural public task.
The Association of German Architects has been campaigning for a high-quality designed environment since 1903. For this year's BDA Hamburg Architecture Prize 2024, the award-winning buildings can be found alongside our station mission in the accompanying book publication. In addition, the BDA is showing all projects in an exhibition, initially on the BDA gallerie and later at the BSW Hamburg.
The exhibition will take place between 27.11.2024 - 27.2.2025 in the BDA Hamburg Galerie, Shanghaiallee 6 and from 1.3. - 30.3.2025 in the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, Neuenfelder Straße 19, 21109 Hamburg.

Excerpt from the laudation:

"Social architecture is made for people and therefore deserves the same design quality as any other building. If, in addition, social architecture is to be realized in an inner-city location, this requires a particularly sensitive approach. The jury is enthusiastic about the prudent way in which social architecture was conceived in the following award-winning project. In particular, the intelligent separation of public and private areas, with which the well-being of the residents was given the highest priority, is commendable. Social facilities must be thought of as part of our built environment, not relegated to hidden places. The submitters have succeeded very well here!"

The official opening of the station mission took place on January 30, 2023 in the new premises. For more than 100 years, numerous helpers, mostly on a voluntary basis, have been doing extraordinary help. With its polyspectral metal cladding, the new building blends gently into the historical surroundings and at the same time invites those seeking help, those in need or travelers with its transparency.

The projects presented meet the complex problems and questions that modern architecture faces in a creative and progressive way. They are characterized by an exemplary concept of sustainability: ecologically, economically and socially, the needs of the users are always in focus. While infrastructure and cultural buildings build a bridge between functional use and identity-creating urban reference, the working worlds of tomorrow are already being created today in the corporate architecture of a company or in modular co-working spaces. In educational buildings, pedagogical concepts are reflected in architecture, while innovative living solutions regularly show new forms of living together and develop existing ones.

“When I design facades plastically, then I interlock thus making the gap much stronger with the buildings and their inner life. On the other hand, the open space often ends abruptly and finally on a smoothly cut façade. But for me, there is not really an indoor or outdoor space, but there is only one big space continuum that runs through the whole world and is filled with light.”

The ensemble, vis-a-vis the cathedral square, the place where the Hammaburg once stood, is being developed into a new, self-contained urban element.
With about 10,000 sqm of office space (about 19,000 sqm GFA), about 60 apartments including subsidized housing, as well as about 1,250 sqm of commercial space and restaurants, a part of the city’s history is embellished and contributes to the ensemble also to the revitalization of the city center.

SOS-Kinderdorf and Family Center
We are building a dock for docking – in the new "Port for families" from 2021 on Kinderdorffamilies will find a new home. In addition a large family center for the district will be included. Unfortunately, the number of places for children and teenagers who can not grow up with their parents are limited in Hamburg. SOS-Kinderdorf helps and builds for a total of three Kinderdorffamilys a new home.
An SOS-Kinderdorf in the middle of the city?
When children can not grow up in their families, the search for the best possible Alternative for the child has to be found. Six children each become part in the SOS-Kinderdorf Family with a Villagemother or father to live as one family. Thus, the children get the chance to keep their previous environment – whether school or Circle of friends.

The topping-out ceremony for the villa of a hamburger couple was celebrated in the most beautiful weather with a view of the Elbe. In the immediate vicinity of the former Villa Jako (once fashion czar Karl Lagerfeld) is created until the beginning of 2019 a villa with a view of the Elbe. The architecture with its precise and distinctive roof construction and an open light room inside, which opens from the basement to the roof, blends in elegantly with its brick façade. The views of the Sülberg and the Elbe are varied arranged, the light and its reflections are captured inside the house through narrow opening and large windows. Lightness and elegance describe the house in two words.

The SOS KINDERDORF will support children and families in the future with even more space and offers – the construction of the "Port for Families" on Straßburger Platz in Hamburg Dulsberg has been initiated.
CARSTEN ROTH ARCHITEKT is planning the new building, where from 2020 onwards both children's village families will find a new home and the Hamburgers will find another place of encounter, education and support.
On a plot of approx. 1,000 m2, a new family center is being planned in addition to apartments for children's Dorff families. This public area includes a family café, a children's clothing store and several classrooms.
The apartments of the SOS Kinderdorf families will be located at the rear of the "Port for Families". The building fits in along Straßburger Platz and Weißenburger Straße.

So that the landmark of the church of the Good News Dulsberg, the church tower, can function in its function as the visual axis and reference point of the Dulsberg-Residents, the connecting structure in the middle is single-storey.
The varying facade of the building scales according to its use. The façade side facing the church is covered with plants over two storeys. The façade itself is a terracotta façade made of baked clay that picks up the brick color of the nearby buildings. On the ground floor of the main entrance facing Straßburger Straße, the building offers more space for a large family café and several course rooms.

The planning guide “Zukunft. Klinik. Bau.” under the editorship of Prof. Carsten Roth has been released.
Further reference books and project reviews are in preparation and will be released in the coming year.
At the beginning of a clinic planning there should be a careful analysis and planning of all the factors that allow efficient and sustainable hospital operations. The architects and planners play a key role.
This practice book is situated in this space, showing methods and tools to develop integrated planning concepts in the earliest planning stages through active networking of all involved disciplines and stakeholders. Through a variety of practical examples, this book will become a daily companion in the planning and optimization of clinics, as well as other medical buildings.
Book: Zukunft.Klinik.Bau.
