Green Life Headquarter

On the south side, the office buildings offer open spaces with lounge areas and retreat islands, and on the north side, mostly enclosed offices and meeting zones, while the green inner courtyards under the central pent roofs provide plenty of daylight and communicative permeability. The large glazed southern facades and the open floor plans enable high solar gains in winter - the summer sun protection is provided by an overlaying layer of small-sized expanded metal elements. The north, east and west facades cladded with the KeraTwin K20 curtain-type and rear-ventilated ceramic facade system of Agrob Buchtal, on the other hand, are rather closed in order to minimize heat losses.
Initially, these facades above the fully glazed ground floor appear above all as mysteriously shimmering surfaces of differently dimensioned horizontal window and ceramic strips. Some of the fields merge seamlessly into each other, others only touch at the corners.
