100 years of Baukmeier
The Hamlin-based off-site manufacturer Meisterstueck-HAUS was one of four companies nominated for the German Off-Site Manufacturers Award; against stiff competition, the Hamlin family-owned company was recognised as one of the top four off-site manufacturers in Germany.
The national competition for the "Golden Cube", recognising the most innovative house manufacturing companies, is organised annually by a trade magazine in Fellbach, and judged by an independent jury. Judging criteria are innovative future-oriented design, architecture and services.
The prize-winning "Bauhaus-style" Meisterstueck-HAUS was designed by the Hamlin-based architect Andre Spiegel, and manufactured as a low-energy house with building materials from renewable sources; it is a stunning combination of innovative architectural design and modern manufacturing methods.
"We are extremely proud," says Managing Director Otto Baukmeier."This award recognises our strategy of offering off-site manufactured houses which are designed by architects with no restrictions imposed by construction systems. The future of house-building lies in constructing with natural building materials, and using house technology based on renewable energy."
