Description
The names and location could not be more fitting: project developer EDGE Technologies GmbH, in collaboration with the renowned architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), has brought the EDGE East Side to life on Warschauer Straße in Berlin-Friedrichshain. This energy-efficient office high-rise is designed with cutting-edge technologies to meet the demands of modern sustainable and innovative construction.
Designed as a vertical campus, the tower pushes boundaries in multiple ways. With a height of 140 m, it stands as Berlin’s tallest office building to date. The EDGE HQ also holds the distinction of being the first German project to be WELL Gold certified, a tribute to the building’s exceptional health and well-being qualities.
Smart building solutions are integral to the project, enhancing both user comfort and energy efficiency. The same objectives guided the developer and planners in the façade design: it features a double-skin, ventilated aluminum façade with integrated sun protection, using COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 II high-performance solar control glass in triple glazing units.
Configured in this way, the façade boasts 61% light transmission, 30% solar factor and exceptional thermal efficiency (Ug-value of 0.6 W/m²K), thus optimizing daylight entry and minimizing energy demand. All these features contribute to the building’s outstanding overall performance.
