Sustainable, social and changeable

2020

The building is located like a green island in the middle of an industrial area between the expressway and the motorway. The cube, with an edge length of 17x17m in floor plan and 17m high, naturally fits in next to the associated operations hall and is connected to it via a bridge on the first and second floors. The building resists the extreme demands of fine dust, among other things, with its green facade and its ecologically sustainable construction.

The green facade serves as the outermost layer of the building with its complex functions such as building cooling, sun protection and the filter against fine dust. This creates a visible sign of biodiversity and creates a change in the microclimate under extreme conditions.
