Optimizing energy performance while creating aesthetically pleasing architecture. ☀️
From a former telecommunications building in Rotterdam, where the roof became a solar power plant, to net-zero-energy homes in Ameide, a contemporary residence in Belgium, future-ready homes in Voorschoten and even a historic castle in Moorslede; these five projects show how solar energy can become an integral part of the roof. Star of the show is Wevolt X-Roof, a complete in-roof solar solution that combines energy generation with a seamless, aesthetically integrated roof design. From new builds to complex and historic roofs, it shows that high-performance solar can be part of the architecture – not an addition to it. Explore more on on architectum.com.

Solar energy doesn’t have to compromise good architecture. It can become part of it. ☀️
From a school in Ludwigsburg with a traditional red roof, where modern solar solutions are integrated into a traditional looking building, to a contemporary family home in Meerstad and adaptable homes in Leeuwarde - these three projects show how in-roof solar solutions can be seamlessly integrated into different architectural concepts.

Star of the show is Wevolt X-Frame PV, an in-roof photovoltaic mounting and frame system compatible with all roof coverings, with limitless design options. Explore more on architectum.com

A red hill in the meadow, a new supermarket looking as if it had always existed there. 🧱🛒🌳
Let's explore the Norwegian town Gamlebyen, where a supermarket blends into the landscape as a red hill: Its brick-tiled roof and façade form a cubic structure that fits seamlessly between the ramparts and the schoolyard.

The town is surrounded by a star-shaped network of ramparts and moats. Griff Arkitektur AS responded with their design to the proximity of the historic ramparts, as well as to two neighbouring structures that originally served a military purpose and now house a private primary school, the Children's International School of Fredrikstad. The building seems less like architecture and more like a landscape: an artificial red hill. Façade and roof are clad equally in flat, red ceramic tiles, making the transition between the two levels barely perceptible.

wienerberger’s Actua multiblend, a large-format, flat interlocking tile, was selected. The choice was based on technical considerations as well: “The material also allowed us to reduce the roof pitch beyond the usually recommended dimension – which is crucial for achieving the desired architectural solution,” Vormdal explains.

Ultimately, what remains of the supermarket near Gamlebyen in one’s memory is less a building than a relief: a red hill that appears to have always been there.

As if drawn by hand ✏️🏡
Returning to the traditional farmstead forms of the Slowakian wine-growing region, this single-family home in the Little Carpathians in Limbach, looks at it was drawn into the landscapes with just a few strokes.
The architects Mikulaj & Mikulajová distributed the functions across three narrow, elongated buildings with pitched roofs. With their design, they found the right tone for rural construction in the choice of materials. Material reduction is also demonstrated in the interior: exposed concrete ceilings, wood in the interior finishes, and white walls create a welcoming atmosphere.
The house was built using perforated Porotherm clay blocks, covered with the V11 Titanium engobe, distinguished by its natural elegance and graceful appearance. The clay roof tiles, the light, coarsely textured plaster and the wooden sliding shutters underscore the simple exterior appearance, which blends harmoniously with the surroundings.

On the former Lloydpier site in Rotterdam, robust brick buildings transform the city's industrial port heritage into energy-neutral living spaces. 🧱🏙️
The complex consists of 136 energy-neutral apartments and a restaurant in western Rotterdam.

WE architecten, Paul de Ruiter Architects, and the landscape architects at ZUS jointly developed this residential quarter. “Thanks to the intelligent use of prefabricated elements and sustainable façade materials, Lloyd Yard is not only beautiful but also future-proof,” says project manager Marco Verschoor of Baukombination. “The wienerberger façade bricks contribute to the project's sustainable design. This is due to their long lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements.”

Rotterdam is consistently committed to becoming a cleaner, healthier, and more economically attractive city. This project plays a key role to this ambition with its energy-neutral and circular design, surrounded by greenery and biodiversity. The project has already received the Rooftop Award 2025, was nominated for the Rotterdam Architecture Prize 2025, and was shortlisted for the Architectenweb Awards 2025.

Driving social housing circularity 🏘️♻️
Circularity starts with the decisions made during planning and the selection of the material. In Rijssen, The Netherlands, 28 social housing units demonstrate how circular thinking can shape affordable, future-ready living. Built with recycled timber and prefabricated elements, the project combines ClickBrick® façades with MaduraMax ceramic roof tiles, creating a fully demountable ceramic envelope without mortar or composite systems.

For architect Martin Huiskes from Architecten VOORMORGEN, beauty and circularity go hand in hand:
"A beautiful building will be used for longer than one that's out of fashion. Beauty protects a building from demolition."
Designed with BIM and built for disassembly, the project shows how reusable ceramic materials can retain their value long after a building's first life, supporting the transition towards a circular built environment.

Eight-storey record in Vienna 🧱🌱
As cities continue to grow, the demand for high-quality and affordable housing in dense urban environments increases. Vienna, the capital of 's founding country Austria, is no exception. In the 12th district, a residential area of almost 11 hectares was completed in 2024. Called the Wildgarten, the land is filled with buildings and projects of all scales: from two-family homes to multi-storey apartment buildings. Today, 2,300 people inhabit the 1,100 housing units.
All 14 buildings were planned in monolithic clay block construction. Two of these buildings are eight storeys high, setting a record – the world’s first high-rise monolithic clay block building with integrated thermal insulation, where the entire load-bearing structure is made of ceramic masonry.

A total of over 205,000 clay blocks were used, and the architect’s aim was to treat the material with the utmost respect: architects and developers designed the buildings in a way to minimize cutting. “In the vertical direction, the distance between the top and bottom edges of the raw ceiling is 2.77 m for all houses – this corresponds exactly to 11 blocks heights”, says Gerd Pichler, Head of ARE Project Development.

Set in Prague’s historic Lesser Town, this new apartment house and gallery reinterprets local architectural memory, and creates a link between the existing fabric and the future. ✏️🧱
The house is located in an area under strict monument protection, so the renowned architect Ladislav Lábus created a contemporary building while meeting the requirements of the protected area. Awarded the Public Prize in the “Building of the Year of the Capital City of Prague 2024,” the project demonstrates how contemporary architecture can engage in dialogue with history.

Materiality plays a crucial role: the residential attic is covered by a hipped roof clad in traditional Tondach Beaver tiles laid in double coverage, reminiscent of the characteristic roofscape of historic Prague. The Beaver tile is one of the oldest and most significant roofing materials in history.
The preserved rear wall anchors the building in the material memory of the site. Built with Porotherm 38 T Profi, it was possible to create a single-layer, load-bearing and pre-insulated masonry. With this project, the architects proved that even in the most protected quarters, contemporary architecture can find its voice.

A place among the pines 🌳
Set within the coastal landscape of Giruliai near Klaipėda in Lithuania, the Kopos žuvėdra settlement proposes relaxed living among centuries-old pine trees besides the picturesque shoreline.

The concept of the three different types of houses and a spa centre pursues a clear ambition: contemporary life among calming natural elements. To resemble the pine tree trunks the architects chose Retro Varia WS UWF60 – a textured, matte brick in a soft reddish-brown tone with a waterstruck finish, for the Valley Houses. “We wanted to create sculptural houses that speak to nature, harmonizing with its materials and form”, says Dominykas Kalmatavičius, architect at G. Natkevičius ir partneriai.

Kopos žuvėdra ultimately presents a vision of balance: between forest and form, privacy and openness, modernity and tranquility. The goal of this project was less about building in nature than about building with it – allowing everyday life to unfold at the pace of rustling pines and coastal wind. This vision has been successfully brought to life.
