Hamburg (ots) -

- Winning properties in Kärna (Sweden), Cologne, Paris and
Schärding (Austria)

HÄUSER, the premium magazine for international architecture,
design and sophisticated living, is happy to present the winners of
the HÄUSER AWARD 2019. In line with the competition's motto, "In the
modernist tradition", the jury has selected private residential
buildings that bring the spirit of Bauhaus and the influences of
classical modernity to the present day. "We award prizes to
architectural solutions that are geared towards the future.The
winners have managed to create attractive living spaces by combining
innovative technologies, materials and room designs," explains
HÄUSER's Editor-in-Chief, Anne Zuber. The winners will be featured in
the edition of HÄUSER due to be published on 4th March (2/2019).

HÄUSER is staging the competition for the HÄUSER AWARD 2019 in
cooperation with the Association of German Architects (Bund Deutscher
Architekten - BDA), the Association of Private Developers (Verbund
Privater Bauherren e.V. - VPB), the electrical systems company JUNG,
the outdoor paving company Metten Stein + Design, and the wood
flooring specialist Parkett Dietrich. The jury has awarded prize
money in a total value of 19,000 EUR. A further 1,000 EUR has been
awarded by the VPB to the developers of each of the winning
properties.

The first prize, worth EUR7000, has been given to Bornstein
Lyckefors Arkitekter for their house "Späckhuggaren" in the rural
idyll of Sweden's west coast. The modest, cubist wooden structure in
classic Swedish red impresses across the board and is both functional
and comfortable. The clever floor plan meets the demands of the
Bauhaus masters for space-saving rooms and the desire of the client
for a homely atmosphere. A very successful concept that makes it
possible to enjoy family life in a small space, according to the
jury.

In second place, with a prize of EUR5000, was Corneille
Uedingslohmann Architekten for the remarkable conversion of a Cologne
bungalow from the late 1950s. Timeless, practical and uncomplicated,
the Haus Corneille retains the dignity of a classically-modern old
building and delicately complements this with an extension under a
striking barrel roof.

The third prize (EUR3000) was awarded to the French agency
Moussafir Architectes Associés for an innovative design in Paris. The
Maison Cubiste impressively shows how it is possible to create unique
residential buildings even in leftover urban spaces. By skilfully
positioning three residential containers in a green rear courtyard,
the building offers different degrees of accommodation quality and
open space; a concept which also won the special prize, worth
EUR2000, for exterior design.

In cooperation with Parkett Dietrich, HÄUSER has awarded an
Interiors Prize for outstanding interior design. The EUR2000 prize
has been awarded to the Trausner/Tschaikner semi-detached house in
the Austrian town of Schärding. The architect Tom Lechner designed
two interwoven garden pavilions with a wide-ranging sequence of
rooms. The interior surprises with birch plywood panels on the walls
and ceilings, which contrast delightfully with exposed concrete
surfaces and create a friendly and natural atmosphere.

The HÄUSER AWARD Jury 2019: Philipp Loeper, architect, Heiner
Farwick, President of the Association of German Architects (Bund
Deutscher Architekten, BDA), Thomas Penningh, President of the
Association of Private Developers (Verband Privater Bauherren, VPB),
Reiner Nagel, Chairman of the Federal Foundation of Baukultur
(Bundesstiftung Baukultur), and Anne Zuber, Editor-in-Chief of
HÄUSER.

The winners will be presented with their prizes at today's award
ceremony during the architecture symposium "JUNG
Architekturgespräche" in the Künstlerhaus in Munich.
