Soltis Veozip chosen for a Berlin Office Building
ABOUT
Solar protection systems with Soltis Veozip for a new office building with DGNB Gold Standard.
The project located at 16 Ritterstraße was designed as a six-storey new commercial development on a greyfield plot in the lively district of Kreuzberg, in Berlin, Germany. Among the building’s most recognisable features is its facade, made from prefabricated concrete elements stacked on top of one another to create loggias and terraces, providing outdoor relaxation spaces for all occupants.
The use of Serge Ferrari’s Soltis Veozip solar protection screen, a material woven from coated high-strength polyester yarn and specially developed for ZIP blind systems, further adds to the building’s distinct look. With its unique sleek weave, it delivers exceptional performance enabling significant heat gain reduction. This property in particular contributed to the project’s Gold DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) certification.
This uniqueness was at the heart of the building’s development project and dictated the choice of the acoustic solution, respecting both its spiritual identity and its architectural layout. As a place of meditation, it was indeed necessary to ensure calm and comfort for the space, and to minimize as much as possible the sound reverberations that could disturb the tranquility of the occupants. The Tenseo Comfort AW membrane from the Serge Ferrari Group was therefore the ideal solution.
