UmweltBank Nuremberg

A timber tree-like exo-skeleton has been developed for a modern timber building, referencing traditional wooden Bavarian houses and timbered houses in Nuremberg’s old town. A buffer zone along the street facade screens the offices behind from street noise and creates a semi external zone that will be planted or used for breakout spaces. Centrally located core elements give the building future flexibility. Active and passive building technology solutions have been implemented to minimise energy consumption, maximising workers’ health and wellbeing and to deliver a landmark sustainable timber building.
