Office Building Mühlenmathe
This three-story office building, designed by Hoff & Partner, has a triangular footprint created by combining the CREE System with reinforced concrete construction. Corridors, cores, and communication areas are built in reinforced concrete, adjoining rectangular office areas constructed with the CREE System.
The structure uses a timber-hybrid design with prefabricated timber-concrete composite floors, load-bearing glulam timber columns, and timber-frame exterior walls. The exterior walls offer high thermal insulation and precision through industrial prefabrication and just-in-time delivery. The modular construction approach shortens the construction period, improves quality control, and reduces on-site work.
The building incorporates several sustainability measures. Planning followed a cradle-to-cradle and circular economy approach, aiming to minimize emissions and optimize resource use. Heating and cooling are provided by air-to-water heat pumps. A photovoltaic system with battery storage generates renewable electricity for on-site use, and a controlled ventilation system with more than 85% heat recovery maintains air quality while reducing energy loss.
Provision is also made for sustainable mobility, with charging stations for electric vehicles and bicycle parking facilities.
