Siemens Munich
The listed building stock of the Siemens headquarters in Munich was completely refurbished, and the historic building fabric from the Wilhelminian period was incorporated into the adjacent new building. The entire four- to six-story building complex forms a city block with classical perimeter development of the surrounding streets. The view towards the street is characterized by different facade types. The first floor facade is transparent and thus forms a joint between the street and the building structures floating above. The 5th and 6th floors are set back and form a penthouse area.
Design Criteria: Sustainability Certifications of the Gold Standard of DGNB and Platinum Standards of LEED
There are a total of six courtyards within the building complex. Two of them are covered and represent part of the internal area. The other four courtyards are open outdoor spaces accessible to the public via the first floor.
The design had to meet the criteria established by the sustainability certifications of the Gold Standard of DGNB or the Platinum Standard of LEED. Further challenges were the partially sloping and conically rounded facades. They have to guarantee increased sound insulation as well as bullet and penetration resistance, eavesdropping resistance and, last but not least, fire protection.
