We are pleased to have won 3rd prize in the competition for the realisation of the International School near Brussels. In the municipality of Wezembeek-Oppem, a two-form entry primary and secondary school with an eight-group bilingual pre-school is to be built.
Our design is characterised by flowing transitions between inside and outside, which allow the diverse natural spaces of the site to be experienced throughout the building. Following the logic of their functions, the four structures form a sequence of two interconnected, identity-creating building complexes on a common ground floor. The composition reflects the scale of the surroundings in the arrangement, storeys and impression of the individual buildings, which open up to the surrounding landscape.
Merry Christmas and a successful start into the new year 2022!
Gerber Architekten wishes you and your family a relaxing Christmas and a happy and, above all, healthy New Year!

TThe promotion of talented young professionals is an important concern for Gerber Architekten. This year, the office was therefore once again present at the scholarship celebration of the Deutschlandstipendium. Gerber Architekten is one of the committed companies with whose support the FH Dortmund University was able to award a total of 83 students a Deutschlandstipendium this year. At the ceremony in the Westfälischer Industrieklub Dortmund, Managing Director Benjamin Sieber represented the company and took the opportunity to talk to the scholarship holders. For 10 years now, the Deutschlandstipendium – a network of federal government, universities and private sponsors – has been making an important contribution to the future of Germany.
The design by Gerber Architekten was awarded 3rd prize in the “Eschborn Town Hall and Town Hall” competition. The subject of the competition is the renovation and extension of the existing town hall and the construction of the new town hall. The conceptual approach therefore pursues the goal of creating a unity of the town hall with integrated meeting room and library as well as the town hall, while carefully dealing with the existing building. In addition to strengthening the town hall square as a central urban space, a connection is created to the green corridor to the southwest. The green roof terraces offer a high quality of stay and at the same time create a connection to the surrounding urban landscape.

A new training centre is being built on behalf of the Saarland Chamber of Crafts according to plans by Gerber Architekten. The new building will redevelop the area between the listed Pingusson building, the Westspange and the administrative headquarters of the Saarland Chamber of Crafts. Now that the building permit has been granted, construction work will be able to start at the beginning of 2022.
As a glass passage, an atrium and a workshop courtyard run through the building solitaire and provide insights into the diversity of the skilled trades. The planned catering area with adjoining terrace on the ground floor offers a view of a listed park area.
The training centre of the Saarland Chamber of Skilled Crafts forms another building block of the new educational location in Alt-Saarbrücken, adjacent to the University of Applied Sciences (HTW). At the same time as the building permit was granted by Lord Mayor Uwe Conradt, Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier and Saarland Minister of Economics Anke Rehlinger handed over the funding notices for the new building of the HWK training centre. Completion is scheduled for the end of 2024.
