About Drees & Sommer
Innovative partner for consulting, planning, construction and operation. As a leading European consulting, planning and project management company, Drees & Sommer has been supporting private and public clients and investors in all matters relating to real estate and infrastructure – analogue and digital – for 50 years. Through forward-looking consulting, the company offers solutions for successful buildings, high-yield portfolios, efficient infrastructure and liveable cities. In interdisciplinary teams, more than 4,000 employees at 46 locations worldwide support clients from a wide range of sectors. The partner-managed company provides all services under the premise of combining economy and ecology. This holistic approach is called “the blue way” at Drees & Sommer.
“What has long been a recipe for success in the automotive industry is still quite slow in the construction sector. Modular construction not only promises efficiency and savings, but also simplifies climate protection and the recyclability of buildings. The Green Innovation Park demonstrates how a forward-looking cooperation of all actors in the building project must look: the project management, the planning services, the modularisation of the planning and the selection of the later building partners are all in one hand. The goal: to save time, reduce costs and eliminate unnecessary interfaces. At the Green Innovation Park, we want to establish a new, sustainable as well as digital industry standard for the construction sector in order to simplify the planning, engineering, production and assembly of individual buildings.”
Steffen Szeidl, Managing Director, Executive Board Drees & Sommer SE

About kadawittfeldarchitektur
kadawittfeldarchitektur, founded in Aachen in 1999, today stands for far more than architectural design alone with a team of over 160 employees. The linking of architecture and interior design at the interface to urban planning and urban projects reflects the interdisciplinary approach and the range of creative work.
The conviction that you cannot think of a house without its surroundings, and that every building project thus entails a social responsibility, is the basis of all the office’s projects. The design approach of kadawittfeldarchitektur is based on the view that architecture has the ability and task to create added value beyond its functional purpose, for the benefit of the users and the public.
The work of kadawittfeldarchitektur has received numerous awards and recognitions. Well-known projects include the conversion of Salzburg’s main railway station, the adidas Laces in Herzogenaurach, the Grimmwelt in Kassel, the RAG Kreislaufhaus at the Zollverein World Heritage Site and the New DFB and its academy currently under construction in Frankfurt a.M.
“With its modular and cycle-friendly construction and the all-connecting green façade band, the architecture also gives creative expression to the project’s sustainability claim. Healthy, recyclable materials, green roofs, a diverse mix of uses and differentiated open spaces equip the Green Innovation Park for the future.”
Gerhard Wittfeld, Managing Partner, kadawittfeldarchitektur
