The Baumit Life Challenge has established itself as one of the most prestigious architectural competitions in Europe.

The prestigious winner of the Baumit Life Challenge Award 2026 is the Hotel Kellogg’s project. A former industrial silo in Bremen was transformed into an exceptional hotel that maintains its strong identity while opening a new chapter in urban life. In addition to the main prize, awards were given for the best architectural solutions in six categories: single-family house, multi-family building, non-residential construction, thermal renovation, historical renovation and stunned by texture: a special creative category evaluating unique surface structures, plaster techniques, forms, and materials. Each category reflected different aspects of architectural quality – from innovative new construction to sustainable renovations and demanding restoration renovations of historic buildings.<\/p>\n
