Design: The new building was careful placed in its surroundings. The permeably arranged rooms maintain a relationship with the exterior, adding to the high quality of the work stations along with the pollution-free room air. A ceiling lamp with integrated speakers and emergency lighting was custom-made for the project. The attic floor can be used for cultural events.

Wood: The structural timber elements consist of multi box beams with integrated cross beams along with prefabricated exterior wall and roof elements. Local silver fir was used for the interior finishing and the facades. All wood surfaces are rough-cut and untreated. The companies commissioned with the works are exclusively from the same region.

Energy: The compact building with a thermally optimized envelope, high-end glazing, and sunshades mounted on the exterior walls are prerequisites for high energy efficiency (passive house). The cost-saving climate control concept consists of an intelligent house technique system including controlled ventilation with a heat recovery rate of >80%, fine-dust filters, and carbon dioxide measuring probes. The remaining energy demand is covered by a photovoltaics installation integrated into the roof and a geothermal heat pump.
