Abstract
Looks at Barkow Leibinger's Gatehouse for manufacturing company Trumpf, on the outskirts of Stuttgart, Germany. The building is 130m² in size and is composed of a bespoke glazed curtain wall which is filled with stacked plexiglass tubes and capped by a dramatic steel roof which cantilevers 22m over an adjacent road. The roof is supported by four internal columns and the cantilever is counterbalanced by a 20-tonne foundation under the rear wall. The Gatehouse is the fourth in a series of buildings by Barkow Leibinger on the Trumpf campus.
