Multiple award-winning timber construction
The fire station Tübingen-Lustnau is German Design Award Winner!
This is the third prestigious award for the timber construction within the first year of its inauguration - in addition to the DMK Award for Sustainable Building 2023 and the Iconic Award: Innovative Architecture 2023, we are now also delighted to have received the German Design Award 2024. The aesthetically sophisticated building received this recognition from the German Design Council for its uncompromising commitment to sustainability, among other things.
A strong statement for contemporary sustainable construction that is also aesthetically pleasing down to the last detail.

Fire station impresses international jury
The German Design Award is the premium prize of the German Design Council. With its global scope and international appeal, it is one of the most prestigious awards in the design landscape across all industries. Products and projects from 55 countries were submitted for the 2024 award. The jury, which is made up of renowned design experts from a total of 12 different nations, is convinced:
The fact that the highly flammable material wood was used as a building material is courageous and self-confident and proves impressively that it works.
