Walter von Lom was awarded the promotion prize of the state of North Rhine- Westphalia in 1975 and the DEUBAU Prize Essen for young architects in 1977. His Rheingasse residential and office building, built in 1975, has received numerous awards, including the Cologne Architecture Prize 1975, the 1977 Concrete Architecture Prize and the prize for exemplary Buildings NRW 1979 . The building exemplified Lom's clear, considerate coexistence of new and old building fabric. From this attitude, the Kommern open-air museum emerged in 1977 (Cologne Architecture Prize 1980, Wood Prize NRW 1982), 1979 the renovation of St. Marien in Herten (Architecture Prize BDA Münster), 1985 the St. Vincenz Center for the Elderly in Cologne (BDA Prize NRW), 1999 the German Sport and Olympic Museum in the Rheinauhafen Cologne.
In 1987 he won the competition for the expansion of the Bonn Foreign Office, in 1992 that of the European Education Center for the Housing and Real Estate Industry in Bochum , and in 1994 the urban development plan for Marzahner Mehrower Allee in Berlin. Between 1980 and 2000, Lom received an architecture award almost every year. He participated in over 200 architecture competitions and won more than half. Lom has completed more than 120 buildings in total. Walter von Lom never followed a formal direction in architecture. He developed the characteristics of his architecture from the specific building task and its surroundings.
