Sonja Steenhoff wins recognition prize at the Hochschulpreis Holzbau 2019 in Hannover
The winners of the „Hochschulpreis Holzbau 2019“ have been announced on May 28th 2019 at the LIGNA fair in Hannover. The jury chaired by Prof. Tom Kaden evaluated a total of 62 submissions from 32 professorships at German universities.
It is our pleasure to announce that Sonja Steenhoff received a recognition prize for her design „Tabaktheater“. The project is characterized by a respectful attitude towards an existing wooden building fabric as well as its persuasive integration of contemporary functionalities within it. Especially the revaluation of the historical structure through an convincing interior design strategy convinced the jury, especially also due to the atmospheric visualizations Sonja Steenhoff provided. The design was the outcome of a master-level studio project conducted under the professorship of Sustainable Construction Dirk E. Hebel at the Architecture faculty of KIT. Congratulations.
