Stylish living in an energy-efficient home.

Energy-efficient renovation:

This project represents a highly qualitative and stylish reconstruction. For this property, energy-efficient renovation essentially means a complete overhaul of the building's exterior. A complete building envelope means that the facade, windows, and, of course, the ground floor (including the cellar ceiling), have been completely sealed, thus undergoing energy-efficient improvements. This also includes the attic, ensuring that heat remains on the top floor where it is needed, rather than escaping upwards. The energy-efficient concept also incorporates all the building's systems, such as a pellet heating system and solar-assisted hot water production, meaning that no additional energy is required during periods of abundant sunshine in the summer. The price of pellets is linked to the price of crude oil, which means that the price of pellets fluctuates, but the difference always remains the same. Therefore, the savings are always maintained. The overall cost savings are approximately 50%. The key to the energy-efficient design is that the laundry facilities are located separately, so residents are not constantly forced to ventilate the increased humidity caused by washing clothes by opening windows, which would waste energy. Therefore, the laundry is located either in the basement or, for the upper apartments, currently in the attic.

Crucially, the apartments themselves were built as ecologically as possible. The plaster used is a pure sand/lime mixture, without any additives. The paints are purely mineral-based, specifically Mineralite. Furthermore, the layer of clinker bricks (fired clay or brick) on the street-facing and rear facades ensures optimal natural water absorption and constant air circulation, which is essential for the energy-efficient design. This allows the energy-efficient concept to function ideally.

Because the house is so well-insulated, it still needs to be able to "breathe." This is achieved through the clinker bricks, mineral paints, and ecological plasters. This allows the humidity introduced by breathing, etc., to be absorbed and stored, and then released when needed. This also helps to prevent mold growth (mold doesn't like lime).

Breathable walls and breathable wall plaster (no surface condensation) are also ideal for allergy sufferers. The energy-efficient design extends all the way to the apartment door. This door has a climate class 3, sealing lips that extend to the floor, a triple locking mechanism, and is solid, so it won's warp even with changing climates, ensuring it always closes tightly. The suspended ceiling is self-supporting and double-layered. It provides improved sound insulation and better thermal insulation, as it has an integrated insulation layer. This prevents immediate air exchange between two apartments with different heating patterns, instead buffering the changes. This also helps to contain noise, as the resonating chamber is sealed. It is a self-supporting ceiling, which prevents impact noise from above from transmitting downwards. The loft-like character is also reflected in the design of the interior doors, which are high-gloss and feature intarsia.

Additional information:
Energy efficiency: mineral paints, natural, breathable, antibacterial, alkaline to prevent mold; otherwise, the product will be damaged. Incorrect: dispersion or silicone paints (resin or oil-based) do not meet the requirements; plastics seal the wall and are not consistent with natural building methods.
Exterior facade: only lime or sand plaster, mineral/hazit silicate paint, and a suitable primer.

The building is located at the entrance to Mariannenpark, nestled within a well-developed infrastructure. Public transportation is readily available nearby. It offers convenient access to the main train station (3.3 km), as well as quick connections to the highway and the airport.
All essential amenities (schools, kindergarten, shops) are located in the immediate vicinity.
The Mariannenpark, practically on the doorstep, and the nearby Abtnaundorf Park, with its diverse offerings, provide excellent recreational opportunities. The Schönefeld outdoor swimming pool and the Nordost swimming hall are also easily accessible on foot.
