4th Prize for Düsseldorf’s new Technisches Verwaltungsgebäude
A public high-rise

In the second phase of the competition, our proposal for Düsseldorf’s new Technisches Verwaltungsgebäude (TVG) was honored with fourth place in the second phase of the competition.

Our vision was to create a building that fosters open communication and enriches the daily lives of employees and citizens. Our design is user-friendly, flexible, and robust, showcasing how the city works while embracing social and ecological sustainability and viewing the city, its people, and nature as a cohesive unit. Stylistically, our approach draws inspiration from the city’s modernist heritage. The ensemble consists of a four-story base housing all public functions, topped by a 110-meter tower. A central atrium features a sculptural spiral staircase connecting the base and tower, opening the building to both Moskauer Strasse and the IHZ Park at the rear. Our proposal was honored with fourth place in the second phase of the competition.
