Handwerkerhaus Überseestadt

A project that showcases the immense carbon-saving potential of the CREE System

he Handwerkerhaus in Bremen’s Überseestadt district is the headquarter of CREE Germany. The construction of the 3.700 m² (GFA) building started in March 2019 and was completed in February 2020. The assembly time of the 4 floors above ground only took a record 10 days – even 4 days faster than initally planned. In addition to the impressive construction speed, this project showcases the outstanding improvements in sustainability offered by the CREE System: 80% fewer CO2 emissions per m² and 50% less total building weight than what would have resulted from using conventional construction methods. The clear layout and design language of the building corresponds with a systematic approach for faster, easier and more efficient planning, production and construction.
