The Brunner Innovation Factory in 📍Rheinau, Germany unites areas for assembly, development, office and cafeteria facilities under one roof. Like the furniture the company manufactures, the concept of the building reflects lightness and sophistication.
Modular timber trusses form the roof of the production hall. Their arrangement in the supporting structure is also indicated by the number of their respective lamellae. Thus, the main girders consist of three lamellae, the cross girders of two lamellae and the tertiary girders of one lamella. The trapezoidal sheet metal covering of the roof serves as a bracing element for the whole structure.
Brunner Innovation Factory was finished in 2018.

A new research center has been built for the pharmaceutical company Servier on the 📍 Paris-Saclay science and technology campus in France.
The main element of the new complex is a circular central building, around which six building wings are arranged. The types of facade, which were developed specially for this building, include a closed-cavity facade with an integrated mashrabiya in aluminum and a double curtain wall facade extending over three stories manufactured out of thermally formed, laminated safety glass units. The corrugated glass facade envelops the circular structure like a curtain, while the facades with mashrabiyya provide shading in the building's wings, giving them an unique appearance.

Europe's largest cultural institution, the #Gasteig in Munich, is undergoing extensive renovation measures as a result of its age. To ensure that events still take place during the five-year construction period, an interim complex has been set up on the premises of Stadtwerke München. For an efficient erection and dismantling of the temporary 'HP8 Isarphilharmonie', the supporting structure was designed as a steel framework with attached trusses. The outer building envelope is complemented by a glass facade and a roof covering. Whereas the interior concert hall was constructed as a cross-laminated timber structure. An old trafo hall, situated next to the new building, is now used as the foyer.

Ludwigsparkstadion in Saarbrücken, home of the 1. FC Saarbrücken, was erected as an athletics and soccer stadium back in 1953 ⚽. To meet the requirements of a modern soccer stadium, it was modernized and converted extensively. The grandstand structure from 1976, known as 'Victor's Grandstand', had to be preserved. Now it's complemented by three new stands, which are covered by membrane roofs. They allow for the maximum openness and thus lightness.

Since two years, the information center at Ruhestein offers its visitors not only insights on a large exhibition area, but also panoramic views over the Black Forest from its spectacular skywalk. 🌲 The design by @sturm_wartzeck takes its inspiration from the concept of deadwood trunks stacked on top of each other. Also, the facade of wooden shingles is based on the local nature of the Black Forest, so that the building blends harmoniously into its surroundings despite its size. Designed as timber frameworks, the main structure features slender beech beams or large cross-laminated timber panels. For an efficient construction process, roof and floor elements were pre-assembled in the workshop. As a highlight, the Skywalk, a truss bridge made of glulam, connects the sloping observation tower and the visitor center.

For more than 20 years, our membrane roof covers the Volkspark Stadium in 📍 Hamburg, Germany. The structure is based on the spoke wheel principle and consists of an inner tension ring and an outer compression ring. Characteristic elements for the canopy are its 40 steel masts, located behind the grandstand around the stadium carrying the outer compression ring. To meet the requirements for the UEFA European Football Championship in 2024, the stadium's technical infrastructure is being modernized. This also requires the reinforcement of the existing roof structure and the subsequent replacement of the membrane.

Haoxiang Lake Park in 📍Shenzhen, China, was created on the site of a former power plant. There, the so-called Rainbow Bridge creates a connection between the developed running trails and footpaths across the lake and river arms. A generous observation platform on the south side of the bridge provides an adequate buffering to the industrial area located in the north. The bridge's piers are placed with minimal impact on the natural area and thus, do not interfere with the footpaths below the pedestrian bridge.

Even with all our efforts, CO2 emissions from our office operations cannot be avoided completely. We compensate remaining emissions with partners that are working on reducing or binding CO2 emissions.
In 2021, our compensation partners were @africa_greentec and positerra.
Africa GreenTec offers solar energy solutions mainly in rural areas in Africa, empowering people to achieve more self-determination and growth through sustainable energy solutions. We supported Africa GreenTec with technical expertise from our sbp sonne team.
positerra helps local farmers to develop humus on agricultural land. This facilitates a sustainable agricultural cultivation process and binds CO2 in the soil. We supported positerra through financial support.

The #pedestrianbridge over the B10 in 📍Stuttgart, Germany continues the pedestrian and cycle path route as an extension of our suspended footbridge under the Neckar Bridge coming from Bad Cannstatt in the direction of Stuttgart city center. Embedded in complex surroundings of the traffic junction, a calm and elegant solution was chosen for the new structure. The new bridge structure spans the U14 light rail line and the B10 federal highway with two arch like strutted frame construction. A height difference of approx. 4.0 m must be overcome over the entire length of the bridge. The superstructure, and thus the walking surface, is formed by a trapezoidal box girder cross-section, which together with the supports of the monolithically connected steel stems forms a five-span continuous girder. The two shallow arches meet at their intersection on a hollow steel box pillar. Forming two shallow arches below the superstructure, the struts become one with the superstructure at midspan.
