Our innovative Climate Quarter in Kronberg im Taunus has been recognized in the competition process. The project combines sustainable architecture with high flexibility, creating a livable and forward-thinking urban space.
The quarter relies on resource-efficient timber construction, which reduces CO₂ emissions and promotes a healthy indoor climate. Efficient energy concepts, including solar power and combined heat and power (CHP), ensure a sustainable energy supply. Green open spaces, rainwater storage, and passive climate strategies enhance the microclimate and support biodiversity.
Beyond ecological responsibility, the focus is on community: generous open spaces and diverse housing concepts foster a vibrant neighborhood. The flexible architecture ensures long-term adaptability to evolving needs.
A project that paves the way for sustainable urban development!

The topping-out ceremony marked an important milestone for the new townhouse in Ahlen. Just ten months after the foundation stone was laid, the shell of the KfW 40-EE building, which uses heat pumps and photovoltaics for sustainable energy, is already complete.
The design blends harmoniously into the cityscape between the old town and the River Werse. The elongated shape follows the edge of the city wall, while a ‘twist’ creates two equal entrances. The entrance hall serves as a central communication space and connects the city and river sides. High points to the north and south set urban accents and relate to the old town. Public areas are located on the ground floor, while the upper floors group workspaces around light-flooded communication zones.
The new townhouse combines the aspects of sustainability, practicality and beautiful appropriateness, explained Köpp, the city planning officer, in his welcoming address.

Dortmund Harbor, Europe’s largest inland port, is undergoing an exciting transformation. The development of Speicherstraße is not only reshaping the area into a business and leisure hub but also enhancing its ecological value.
The team at Gerber Architekten has contributed to the sustainable transformation of the southern Speicherstraße with two key projects:
Hafenforum – a vibrant center with spaces for start-ups, co-working, and gastronomy.
Kontorhaus 11 – a combination of modern office spaces and a market hall.
For this contribution to urban development, the “Southern Speicherstraße” project has been nominated for the German Urban Development Award 2025. The award ceremony will take place on July 25, 2025, in Berlin.

From March 11 to 14, 2025, the MIPIM—the world’s largest real estate exhibition—will take place at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. Gerber Architekten is participating for the 16th time and will present the groundbreaking major project King Salman Park (KSP) at the German Pavilion (Riviera Hall, R7.G38/09). Located on the grounds of a former military airfield in Riyadh, the project will create the world’s largest urban park—approximately five times the size of New York City’s Central Park and six times larger than London’s Hyde Park. Under the leadership of the King Salman Park Foundation, a unique transformation process is underway that will sustainably enhance both the quality of life and the environment in the city. King Salman Park is a joint venture led by Gerber Architekten, in collaboration with planning experts Happold, Setec, and Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates. The project covers a total area of 16.6 square kilometers.
In addition, Gerber Architekten will showcase the nearly completed research building CALEDO at the TU Dortmund at the NRW.Global Business booth (R8.D13), which promotes interdisciplinary research between the natural and engineering sciences.
