For the Bundesamt für Immobilienaufgaben (BImA) @bundesimmobilien, together with BIOS ATELIER and Drees & Sommer, we are delighted to have received second prize for our proposal to transform the former US Army housing estate into a climate-resilient and future-ready neighbourhood. Building on retained footprints, orientations and landscape patterns, new L-shaped buildings and linear replacement blocks form an open comb-like structure with green courtyards, permeable paths and balanced density. Three high points create orientation and new addresses, embedded within a continuous landscape system linking Panzerwiese, the neighbourhood and surrounding parks. Preserved trees, new planting, green roofs and integrated water management establish a robust sponge-city approach that strengthens cooling, water retention and biodiversity. In the northern sub-area, a fully developed architectural scheme offers efficient building depths, a wide mix of dwellings and flexible layouts accessed via open galleries, alongside integrated mobility concepts and largely car-free open spaces. Low-carbon energy systems and high environmental standards support everyday life while delivering urgently needed affordable housing in Munich. The project comprises around 1500 homes, childcare facilities, local amenities and shared spaces, balancing continuity and transformation. We thank all team members for a wonderful and inspiring collaboration.
