Selected Projects
School Building — 2020
On a roughly 7,600 m² site in Munich-Schwabing, between the English Garden and Osterwaldstraße, a two-track school for grades 1 to 13 and around 650 pupils is designed as a Munich “Lernhaus”. The school consists of three individual buildings whose height increases by one storey towards the English Garden. At the centre of the four- and five-storey buildings sits a covered atrium with a large skylight connecting the floors.
Design Project — 2018
On Mohnstraße in Nuremberg, a small residential quarter with shared outdoor uses is developed under the motto “Wohnen Plus”. The buildings are arranged in two pinwheel-like groups of different sizes on the triangular site; the “plus” outdoors is a set of square fields, sunken and raised, forming play areas and seating steps.
Construction Project — 2019
The subject is a vacant shed-roof hall in Weißenburg. The idea: a zero-waste shop with a cooking school and a regional restaurant. In keeping with the theme of sustainability, rubble stones from the demolished existing walls are reused for the new ones — creating a contrast between old and new that exposes the hall’s materiality.

November 2020 — COVID lockdown with curfews, alone in a one-room flat, the first full-time paychecks, plenty of boredom and drive. So I began teaching myself to tattoo — and through learning this new form of expression realised once more how much joy it brings me to develop concepts and ideas together with other people and to execute them creatively. Tattoos are long-lived and in most cases permanent — which is why both planning and execution demand careful, considered work.
A father on the tattoo made by his daughter
A tattoo? Who can say with certainty what they want bound to their own skin for the rest of their life? What if the once-new flame has found someone new and “Gabi” no longer gets under my skin? So I had no tattoo, because there was nothing about which I could say with certainty: this holds for the rest of my life.
My daughter Carolin started drawing early. Her precision in observation and execution is something I never had, and she is the only one of my five sons and daughters whose choice of profession I meddled in: “Do whatever you want — but make something of your talent!”
Over the years we naturally talked a lot about design, travelled to cities and museums, I consulted her on some of my own tasks, we made designs together and built models. When she taught herself to tattoo, to open up further skills and forms of expression, I knew: if anyone, then her.
And then came the idea. As a five-year-old I had entered a drawing competition titled “What children wish for”. My drawing of four little tool-men won me fifty marks in 1965, and I still have the newspaper clipping from the Süddeutsche; the caption reads: Florian Stolzenberger, age 5, wishes for a toolbox.
I did buy that toolbox — and with the smile of this story I describe the beginning of my professional identity. These drawings belong inseparably and solely to me, they have long been under my skin, and it was a decision of seconds when I asked Carolin: “What would you think of these drawings…”
From no one else would I have had this tattoo inked — not by the best tattoo artist on earth, and by the roadside somewhere in Asia rather not either. And it was clear that I could rely on Carolin’s precision.
„So now I have this tattoo that identifies me like no other could, inked by an artist to whom I am bound by flesh and blood and mutual trust like few other people. When someone wants to get to know me, I proudly push up my right sleeve — and with this one gesture I can tell more about my family and myself than with many clever words.“
