distribution serves as a residence

roof and surface water, as well

building through the sales center, the inviting lobby space serves as an
exhibition hall, displaying hahn + kolb products alongside other art
collections, that extends with a height of 7.70 m over two floors.

levels, where a lounge area functions as a hub for the scheme, allowing
colleagues and clients to hold impromptu meetings.

covers 70% of the building’s annual heating costs, while green roofs provide
further levels of insulation.
