DAM Preis 2025

Prize Winner
The DAM Preis 2025 goes to AFF Architekten for the SPORE HOUSE in Berlin:
The jury was especially impressed by the Spore Haus, a culture and meeting space in Berlin’s Neukölln district. It has been positioned in such a way as to create a small plaza and thus offer appreciably more quality leisure area on the otherwise rough-&-tumble Hermannstrasse. The building itself with its fluid spaces in the lobby, a café, and events and exhibition zones invites visitors to discover it for themselves, and that includes the idyllic garden out back. The new neighbor catches the eye and with red exterior also takes its cue from the bricks of the graveyard walls in the vicinity.
