Barcode Architects and Tchoban Voss Architekten have designed the winning proposal for the prestigious design competition for the new Dresden City Headquarters!
The new 34,000m² ‘Verwaltungszentrum’ is situated on a prominent inner city location and will be part of a larger urban transformation of the Ferdinandplatz. The project has been designed in close collaboration with the construction team partners Züblin / Strabag and Dressler Bau.
Barcode Architects’ partner Dirk Peters: “We are particularly proud to present our winning design for the Dresden City Headquarters. In addition to our ongoing German projects, this is our first major public project in the Saxony region. It is a design with a special identity that strengthens our focus and future role in Germany. The cooperation with Tchoban Voss Architekten, who are based in Dresden, is natural and shows that the combination of international design and German expertise can lead to a strong and impressive result.”

Barcode Architects and krft present PATCHWORK, the new cornerstone of the Amsterdam Sluisbuurt
Barcode Architects and krft proudly present PATCHWORK, one of the first developments in the future sustainable Sluisbuurt in Amsterdam! For the design, the architectural offices joined forces and won the tender in cooperation with ABC Planontwikkeling, EarthY, DGMR, and Buro Sant en Co.
The building is the cornerstone in the heart of the Sluisbuurt, at the pivot point where the main axes from the neighbourhood to the city and surroundings intersect. For the purpose of the future and healthy living, the central location of PATCHWORK became Barcode Architects and krft’s inspiration to design a unique building concept in which physical activity and cycling play a key role.
With its highly diverse architectural appearance and a rich program, PATCHWORK will be a miniature city in the Sluisbuurt area. The building sets the tone for the development of a sustainable and lively new urban district in Amsterdam.

Caro van de Venne appointed supervisor for Sloterdijk I Zuid in Amsterdam
Barcode Architects’ partner Caro van de Venne has been appointed supervisor for the transformation project Sloterdijk I Zuid in Amsterdam. In the coming years the area will be gradually developed from an industrial area to a mixed living and working environment with 4,700 homes and 84,000 square meters for business activity and office space.
Caro: “I hope that we will be able to transform Sloterdijk I Zuid into a diverse and rich urban area in terms of functions and experiences. I consider it as an opportunity to be creative: to enhance the existing identities with distinctive architecture, but perhaps not always with a coherent urban image. This is possible, as long as we strive for a consistent urban character — an area where special attention is paid to the experience of the city and its relationship to the surrounding public space.”
About us
Barcode Architects is an international office for architecture, urbanism and contemporary design. The office is led by Dirk Peters and Caro van de Venne, along with a creative team of 70 professionals including architects, urban designers, and technologists. We create ambition-driven projects which revitalize and transform their surroundings. The resulting designs are highly site-specific, with an unexpected twist.
Our work
ranges from urban masterplans to mixed-use public buildings, large infrastructure projects, and high-end residential and office towers. Each project is the result of extensive concept-driven experimentation of function and form, bringing apparently ‘finished’ designs to the next level.
