Description
The 10,500 square meters administrative building of Regensburger Municipal utilities and REWAG - water and energy supplier, which was completed in 2020, is located next to the former company headquarters, in the so-called east quarter of the city. The site is bordered by a four-lane road in the north, to the east and south by multi-family houses and commercial buildings. The new building reacts to this heterogeneous situation with a triangular shape. In the middle, the structure forms a spacious inner courtyard. The publicly accessible customer center is located on the ground floor, while the upper levels are reserved for administration. Individual and open-plan offices with communication zones alternate there.
The façade of the new building is divided into continuous strips of stone and efficient glass from SAINT-GOBAIN. Curved at the corners of the building, they underline the dynamic nature of the building. The parapets are clad with light-colored, regionally extracted natural stone, the surface of which is processed differently depending on the floor. For the flat or curved glazing, the highly selective solar control triple glazing COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 were used, and on the upper floors the COOL-LITE® XTREME 60/28, both as structure with laminated with safety glass.
"The aim was to develop a high-quality, open-plan building with a contemporary working environment, in which the 460 employees and their customers feel welcome and enjoy staying," write the architects Gewers Pudewill about their building design. The solar control glazing from SAINT-GOBAIN plays a key role in this. With a selectivity greater than 2 and a Ug value of 0.6 or 1.0 W / m²K, it has the highest ratio between penetrating daylight and protection against overheating through solar radiation. This creates an extremely bright atmosphere inside the room. The building is equipped with district heating and thermal component activation for heating and cooling.
