Double Win. We are pleased about yesterday's announcement of the results of the international competition "Opera House of the Future" in Düsseldorf. We are finalists at both locations, the Heinrich-Heine-Allee and Am Wehrhahn – and we were the only architectural office to prevail over various prestigious contenders in this competition at both locations. A great success that honors us and makes us proud.

In the World Architecture 100 Ranking 2023 ("WA100"), HPP has once again gained places compared to the previous year and is now ranked 20th among all participating architecture firms worldwide.

With our new Associate Partner Alexander Straub, who takes over the office management of our HPP Amsterdam location as of February 2023, we will further establish our youngest HPP office on the Dutch market in the future with excellent knowledge of local circumstances and needs.

The official opening and handover of keys took place on January 23, 2023 for the world's first hospital building with a passive house certification, the new “varisano Klinikum Frankfurt Höchst”.

The city of Düsseldorf has set itself the goal of being CO2-neutral by 2035. Last year, the Rheinische Post forum "Zeitenwende für die Innenstadt" (Turning the tide for the city center) took place, in which participants considered possible approaches to making the city center fit for adapting to climate change on several dates in the progress workshop.

On the way to climate neutrality by 2035!

Following a two-stage, limited qualification process, HPP was commissioned with the new construction of the company headquarters for KNIPEX, the world's leading manufacturer of pliers.

"Cradle to Christmas" - this was the motto of yesterday's topping-out ceremony for the sustainable pioneering project The Cradle, to which INTERBODEN invited those involved in the project as well as numerous people from politics and business.

Our Management Board is in the midst of a generational shift.

What values and attitude does HPP stand for and in which direction does HPP want to develop in the future? As part of a "Next Level" process, the entire HPPy team is working on the further development of the company with regard to strategic goals.
