Nollendorfplatz: Bauwens lays foundation stone for sustainable office development "NO6"
Sustainable energy supply with geothermal energy and photovoltaics
At the heart of NO6 is an innovative energy concept with 90-meter-deep geothermal probes that supply the building with renewable energy all year round. "This technically sophisticated solution, which is rarely implemented in inner-city locations, is a prime example of how sustainable energy supply can work in the heart of Berlin today," explains Clemens Stahr, managing partner of Bauwens Development Berlin.
Photovoltaics, heat recovery, and a completely combustion-free heating and cooling supply enable virtually CO₂-neutral operation. Extensive green roofing, a 338-square-meter inner courtyard, and eight newly planted trees create a green retreat in the middle of the city. NO6 has already been awarded the DGNB platinum pre-certificate for this holistic approach. In addition, the project is aiming for the WELL Gold certificate and the Efficiency House Standard 40.
Excellent design for modern working environments
NO6 is designed as a boutique development and combines the highest sustainability standards with sophisticated architecture. The international architectural firm HENN has designed a sculptural structure with a striking façade, whose floor-to-ceiling, concave windows give the building a distinctive character. The architecture deliberately references the curves of the neighboring Metropol Theater, a listed building, and blends harmoniously into the historic surroundings. A café on the ground floor and green outdoor areas open the building up to the square and make it a lively part of the neighborhood.
With flexible office spaces ranging from 195 to 775 square meters, NO6 offers space for a wide variety of work concepts—from focused individual work to creative co-labs. The spaces can be used floor by floor or as a single-tenant solution. There will be a total of seven floors, as well as space for 46 bicycle parking spaces and 146 square meters of terrace space.
