Houses from the laboratory
Volker Halbach likes to call blauraum an “architectonic laboratory”. And indeed, blauraum is more than just an architects’ office. It is also a café and a gallery. But above all blauraum is one of the most creative idea factories in Germany. Only the second building to be completed by Halbach and his three partners (a residential building in Hamburg) was elected “Building of the Year 2004”. The quartet has since won two German Architecture Awards, the first in 2005. blauraum is building in Moscow, Oslo and, of course, Hamburg.
