A new office building is being constructed on a plot of land measuring approximately 1,500 square meters at Berlin’s Nollendorfplatz, using resource-efficient materials and incorporating a sustainable energy concept.
Next to the Metropol Theater—also known as the Schauspielhaus am Nollendorfplatz—a six-story building is being constructed that extends in a T-shape toward the rear of the land. A café will be set up in the foyer, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. The resulting office space will total approximately 5,000 square meters.
The north facade, a key element 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-floor offices will feature floor-to-ceiling, curved windows with frames made of recycled copper.
The building will be equipped with high-quality façade surfaces, efficient sun protection, and a renewable heating and cooling system. A ventilation system with heat recovery and low pressure loss ensures a supply of fresh air. Photovoltaic systems generate renewable electricity on-site, which is used both to power the building and to meet the tenants’ energy needs.
The project is aiming for certification by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and is expected to receive the WELL Platinum certification. In addition, it is aiming to meet the Efficiency House Standard 40 in accordance with the Federal Funding Program for Efficient Buildings (BEG).
