Recognition for the Southern Speicherstraße Port District

The Southern Speicherstraße Port District in Dortmund Has been Awarded Recognition at the German Urban Development Award 2025.


A District between Industrial Heritage and Digital Future

The transformation of the historic port area is symbolic of a new type of urban development: one that does not over-shape the built heritage, but productively transfers it into the future. Between old tracks, listed warehouses and the new harbor promenade, a district is emerging that combines the creative industry, digitization and social integration in a special way.

In the laudation for the award ceremony, it says aptly:
“The port district in Dortmund impressively and exemplarily shows how an industrial area becomes a sustainable urban district that unites innovation, identity and integration – with a charisma that extends far beyond Dortmund.” (Anja Reichert-Schick)

Lensing Media Port – an Architectural Signal

Our contribution, the Lensing Media Port, sets a striking architectural accent in this context. It is representative of the new layer of use, which integrates sensitively and powerfully into the existing structure. As a place of work, networking and communication, it brings the future of the media world to the port and at the same time makes the industrial past tangible in the choice of materials and spatial structure.

The recognition applies not only to the architectural and urban design, but also to the intensive cooperation process that supported the project: between the city administration, investors, planners, civil society and funding providers. The large proportion of public spaces is particularly pleasing: Over 50 percent of the district remains reserved for the urban society – in the form of promenades, playgrounds, recreational areas and cultural offerings.

The award anchors the project in nationwide perception: From September, the port district will be part of a nationwide traveling exhibition “City Building” and a publication that presents urban planning models in Germany.

We are pleased to have contributed to the award-winning district development. Our architecture stands for the successful synthesis of industrial substance and digital future. We thank all those involved – especially the City of Dortmund, the Soziale Stadt Foundation, private developers and the citizens for their trusting cooperation. This is motivation and obligation at the same time: We look forward to continuing to help shape urban development projects that combine architecture, identity and social participation.

New construction of the Leipzig office

Timber construction miracle - the game changer in the construction industry

Contemporary architecture is facing considerable challenges in the face of dwindling resources. In this context, timber construction has gained a remarkable market share as a sustainable and resource-saving construction method. This success story is based on conviction and courage.

New look for soccer in Leipzig

During the planning and implementation of the new building, there was a strong focus on environmentally friendly and sustainable construction. The supporting structure and the interior fittings are mainly made of wood.

Solar modules are installed on the façade and roof to generate energy. These measures contribute significantly to the reduction of CO2 emissions and promote the urban microclimate through green roofs and the creation of a public climate forest. A total of 2,250 m³ of timber elements were manufactured. Thanks to the high degree of prefabrication, assembly was completed in just ten weeks.

After its planned completion at the end of 2025, the building will offer workplaces for 250 employees on an area of 14,500 m² spread over four floors.

Wood of the future

Of course, wood is not a savior that can be trusted blindly. Numerous architects have now, understandably, turned their backs on timber construction. Nevertheless – and there is no doubt about it – wood is a fantastic building material that will carry the building revolution, provided it is used correctly.

Dortmund’s greenest parking garage opens

KVWL parking garage on Westfalendamm

Handing over the keys to Dortmund’s future greenest multi-storey parking lot: Dr. Volker Schrage, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Westphalia-Lippe Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, opened the KVWL’s modern and sustainable employee parking lot on Westfalendamm on Friday, June 14. “Even if the greenery on the façade still has to grow, the multi-storey parking lot is already a shining eye-catcher in Dortmund’s cityscape, right on the B1,” says Schrage. In addition to members of the KVWL construction committee, representatives of the contractors also attended the handover of the keys. Schrage thanked everyone involved on behalf of the Board of Directors and the KVWL Assembly of Representatives.

Kerstin Fritz, Chairwoman of the KVWL Building Committee, cut the red ribbon at the opening ceremony. From July, the eleven-metre-high multi-storey parking lot in Dortmund’s city center on the corner of Westfalendamm and Jülicher Straße will offer KVWL employees 167 parking spaces, 17 of which are barrier-free, spread over 3,900 square meters of floor space and four and a half storeys. “As soon as the photovoltaic system is installed, we will be able to supply ten charging stations for electric vehicles even more sustainably with self-produced green electricity,” explained Schrage. The construction also has positive consequences for local residents: The new parking garage will provide noticeable relief for the surrounding streets in the vicinity of the medical center.

A total of around 200 tons of steel and around 500 cubic meters of concrete were used within a year. “Nevertheless, the special focus is on the wooden façade and the elements of sustainability,” emphasized Schrage. In view of the climate crisis, the future large-scale greening of the exterior façade will improve the surrounding microclimate: evaporation from the plants draws heat from the immediate surroundings. This lowers the air temperature around the parking garage – this effect is particularly beneficial in urban areas. Software-supported parking space management rounds off the picture of a modern, sustainable and efficient parking garage.

Professional training conditions for professional youth soccer

SHA develops implementation options for a new youth training center for Bundesliga soccer club VfL Bochum

Congratulations to VfL Bochum on staying in the first division! After a magnificent comeback last night, VfL Bochum secured their place in the relegation play-off against Fortuna Düsseldorf and will therefore continue to play in the Bundesliga next season. We are delighted that Bochum have remained in the league and are proud to support VfL in future construction projects in order to achieve further sporting success.

New youth performance center

A new youth training center for VfL Bochum’s boys’ and girls’ teams, including various natural grass pitches, stands and other construction measures, is to be built on Hiltroper Straße. In order to push ahead with the planning, our team is currently working on various implementation options to supplement the existing training facilities south of Hiltroper Straße.

Diverse implementation measures planned

The existing VfL-Talentwerk will be expanded so that the young players and other club employees will have access to training rooms and overnight accommodation in addition to cabins and recreation areas. Existing car parking spaces will also be enlarged in line with the larger parking space requirements. Natural grass pitches to the north of Hiltroper Straße complement the existing soccer pitches to the south. A new greenkeeping building to be erected in the immediate vicinity of the sports pitches will be able to accommodate the machinery and equipment required for turf maintenance. The new and existing soccer pitches will be complemented by a total of three covered stands, allowing spectators to attend training sessions and competitions protected from the weather.

Performance center for young boys and girls

The new youth training center to be built on Hiltroper Straße will provide young players with the best conditions for developing their soccer skills at a professional level.

SHA and InterLog Management now jointly offer general logistics planning

Strong partnership for logistics and industrial architecture

From now on, our office offers general planning for logistics and industrial projects in cooperation with Interlog Management. The leading consulting company in the field of logistics, supply chain and logistics IT supports companies in the optimization of logistics processes and logistics systems. In this respect, Interlog Management is a strong cooperation partner for the implementation of construction projects in the logistics and industrial sectors.

“The integral planning of logistics and structural implementation from a single source right from the start of a project guarantees the client the optimum interplay of quality, time and costs. The holistic view of efficiency, functionality and sustainability leads to a tailor-made solution, especially in the case of complex challenges, which ensures the long-term competitiveness of our clients,” says Christoph Helbich, full of confidence about a successful collaboration with Interlog Management.

In addition to the branches in Austria and Switzerland, InterLog Management has also been represented at PhoenixWERK since the beginning of the year. With the opening of the third part of the building in January, the company moved to the shared office location in Dortmund Hörde, so that the cooperative collaboration and coordination of project content can run smoothly.
