Sustainable Living in Berlin

Their architectural concept encourages community building, with clusters of up to 10 houses surrounding shared courtyards. A central orchard meadow fosters social interaction and provides ample green space. Prefabricated wood panel exterior walls filled with cellulose insulation ensure energy efficiency, while untreated wood cladding adds to the natural aesthetic. The low-energy design is further supported by a geothermal energy network and photovoltaic systems powering the heat pumps. For the glazing, as it needs to meet the same standards of sustainable living, a high-performance triple insulating glass with SILVERSTAR EN2plus was used, offering excellent thermal insulation with low U-values to ensure optimal energy efficiency throughout the year.
