🌱Sustainability
DGNB Platinum rating (95.4%) = Germany’s most sustainable building
Super lightweight structure: modular wood-hybrid system made of timber-concrete slabs + glulam façade columns = weight reduced by 50% + up to 80% of CO2 per sq m saved
Approximately 1,200 FSC-certified spruce trees used in construction: wood has a high heat-storage capacity reducing energy for internal heating
Smart controls automatically regulate air quality, light and temperature to enable optimal working conditions + energy saving
🥦 Wellbeing
WELL V2 Core & Shell Gold
85 ft central atrium features 4 large tree trunk-like columns: supporting a network of staircases + recreational walkways creating the feeling of being in treehouse
Flexible modular floor plans with lack of load-bearing interior walls = easily adaptable for tenants
Promotes activity-based working: communication-enhancing open spaces + retreats for focus + meeting rooms for teamwork
5th floor sky lounge with panoramic windows + large outdoor terrace
🎈Bonus feature
It is Germany’s first project to have 100% of its building materials recorded in the Madaster material database: a passport for materials making it easy to reuse + recycle components. Plus, its modular construction means dismantling will be as efficient as construction.
