Contract Award: Wolff & Müller Campus
The headquarters of Wolff & Müller Holding GmbH & Co. KG in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen is to be expanded in stages over the coming years and made fit for the future. In June 2014, the client selected five architectural firms for the project. BFK Architekten was awarded the contract. The urban design concept developed through the multiple-commissioning process serves as the basis for further planning.
However, the functional areas were redefined as follows:
- Office building with a central circulation spine (Building D)
- Larger hotel with 108 guest rooms (Building E)
- Separate, larger parking garage with 395 spaces (Building F)
