BAUMIT SELECTS THE EUROPEAN FAÇADE OF THE YEAR 2016 IN MADRID

The grand final of Baumit’s European Façade of the Year competition took place on 2 June at Madrid Town Hall. From a pool of 36 finalists from 22 countries, a jury of twelve international experts selected six category winners and the overall winner of the Baumit Life Challenge. Ultimately, Slovakia won the Life Challenge Award.

Madrid/Wopfing, 6 June 2016 – Baumit awarded the Baumit Life Challenge Award for the European Façade of the Year on Thursday 2 June 2016 at Madrid’s impressive Town Hall. In the final jury session, twelve internationally recognised architects selected the winners in six different categories: single-family house, multi-family residential, non-residential building, thermal renovation, historical renovation, and the special category, “Structure enlightens Design”.

The overall winner, i.e. the Baumit Life Challenge Award winner, was the Slovakian project „KINDERGARTEN LIMBACH“ by a team consisting of the architects Martin Rezník, Matúš Polák and Juraj Makový. Five other countries had reason to be cheerful: Greece, Slovenia, Austria, Romania and Germany each took home one category win. Slovakia also celebrated another victory, winning the award for the „Non-residential building“ category.

„The Life Challenge 2016 once again provided impressive evidence that there are countless creative possibilities for designing façade surfaces and structures,“ said Robert Schmid, CEO of Baumit Beteiligungen GmbH, about a splendid evening „in which Europe’s construction industry celebrated the victors in the manner that they deserved“.
