A new office building made from resource-saving materials and featuring a sustainable energy concept is being constructed on a 1,500 square meter plot of land on Berlin's Nollendorfplatz.
Next to the Metropol Theater, also known as the Schauspielhaus am Nollendorfplatz, a six-story building is being constructed that extends T-shaped into the depth of the land. A café will be set up in the foyer to create an open and inviting atmosphere. The office space being created covers around 5,000 square meters.
The north facade, an essential part of the winning design by the architectural firm HENN, will be incorporated into the project. The facade is divided into a 5.40-meter grid, and the upper offices will have floor-to-ceiling curved windows with frames made of recycled copper.
The building will be equipped with high-quality facade surfaces, efficient sun protection, and a renewable heating and cooling system. A ventilation system with heat recovery and low pressure loss ensures fresh air. Photovoltaic systems generate renewable electricity on site, which is used both for the operation of the building and for the tenants' energy consumption.
The project is aiming for certification by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and is expected to receive the WELL Platinum certificate. In addition, the Efficiency House Standard 40 in accordance with the Federal Program for Energy-Efficient Buildings (BEG) is being pursued.
