7. Rang beim offenen Wettbewerb Service de l’eau à Vidy, Lausanne VD
From the jury report:
"The existing administrative building, which serves as a gateway and access point to the STEP site, will have to be complemented by an extension several times its size. The "VidySu" team took up this challenge with relaxed restraint. The existing alignments are taken up, and the new construction is attached linearly to the existing building. Figuratively speaking, like a truck with its trailer, the existing building retains its function as the head building, marking not only access to the STEP, but also the main entrance to the new, consolidated administration of the Lausanne water authority."

2nd place in the selective competition Sewenhütte SAC, Wassen UR
From the jury report:
"The project authors retain the outstanding features of Jakob Eschenmoser's existing hut and propose an extension on the eastern plateau. The polyhedral basic form with the cranked corners is well and naturally based on the existing building in terms of footprint and volume expression."

6th Price in the selective competition Retirement Center St. Martin, Sursee LU
From the jury report:
"In the "LOTUS" project, a two-winged volume is set in such a way that a large green and noise-protected open space is created in the southern part facing the monastery garden. The park-like high quality design of the open space leads to and around the new building and strengthens the identity of the location. With the highest proportion of green space of all the projects and the good shading by trees, this project makes a major contribution to reducing heat."

Solitaire instead of campus:
The Stiftung Berufsbildungscampus Ostschweiz decides in favor of a solitary building rather than a campus. A missed opportunity for local development.

4th Price in the open competition Berufsbildungscampus Ostschweiz
From the jury report:
"With the compact yet open development, the placement of the building volumes creates a relationship to the rural context and differentiated outdoor spaces that strengthen the site and its use in many respects. The architectural expression is based on simple industrial and agricultural buildings, is robust in design and architecturally convincing. The clever use of round façade openings, constructive wood protection and partial metallic elements result in a specific, unmistakable and memorable architecture. The overall convincing "midpoint" project proposal fits perfectly into the urban context on the edge of the settlement, is based on the campus concept and places great emphasis on flexibility of use and sustainability."

3rd Price in the open competition Maintenance Depot Uzwil
From the jury report:
"In the "Opus Conclusus" project, two new structures along the two longitudinal boundaries create a well-functioning, efficient depot. The project impresses with its careful design, its natural urban setting and its harmonious architectural design in terms of choice of materials and expression."
