GRAFT project Eckwerk wins "Architectural Review Mipim Futura Projects Award 2015"

Last night the annual MIPIM Awards Ceremonies took place in Cannes, France, rewarding the most innovative and groundbreaking projects in real estate. We are very proud to announce that the “Eckwerk” project by GRAFT, Kleihues+Kleihues and GuK received the “Architectural Review MIPIM Future Projects Award”!
The jury focused on creativity, but also how the design responded to the client’s development brief, and considered the way in which it will impact and contribute to the surrounding architecture and community.

The unique design for Eckwerk was developed in an open dialogue between the architecture firms GRAFT and Kleihues + Kleihues, together with the GuK (Genossenschaft für urbane Kreativität), as an exemplary building complex.
The main idea is to create an inspiring and lively space that enables relations between working and living, public sphere and privacy. At the same time the project aims to respond to the social, economic and ecological questions of our time.
