Sustainability meets monument preservation – the "Am Postbahnhof" project in Berlin

What makes this project special?

• Heritage preservation meets sustainability: The railway viaduct has been preserved, renovated and integrated into the new building as a whole. The elaborately restored turntable for trains and the historic water tower contribute to the unique character of the ensemble.
• Rainwater recycling: Retention roofs, cisterns and green spaces improve the microclimate and water cycle – awarded the Schwammstadt Prize by the Berlin Rainwater Agency.
• Smart cooling contracting: Waste heat from the cooling system is fed into the district heating network – saving CO₂ and creating space for green roof terraces, as recoolers are no longer necessary.

The result: a highly energy-efficient, low-pollutant building with optimised life-cycle costs that combines ecology, architecture and urban quality of life. We are proud to make an important contribution to this flagship project with our expertise in sustainability.
