    Project entry 2011 "Low-cost apartments incorporating smart materials", Hamburg, Germany: Façade detail.

The jury identified the strength of the project in its innovative concept for construction and material that uses pre-fabricated lightweight-concrete elements which incorporate recycled foamed glass as an internal aggregate. On top of that is an overall design scheme with competent solutions for a public housing development in every relevant aspect – an ambitious design and a zero-carbon energy concept even in the context of lower-income communities.
