The term “beacon project” is one that can be taken quite literally here: at 140 metres, the high-rise office in a central location is one of the highest towers in Berlin. Its striking façade which resembles stairs will be able to be seen from afar. And the building is not just special from an architectural point of view, but also with regard to its sustainability aspects as well: the recycling of the products used has been taken into account in construction and the materials used are free from volatile organic compounds.
Smart technologies and intelligent energy management ensure a first-class sustainability footprint and will enable the building to run efficiently. The DGNB has already awarded “Platinum” pre-certification for this. The certification in line with the WELL Standard awarded by the International Well Building Institute recognises the qualities of the building in terms of health and well-being. The creation of green areas is just one of the measures aimed at obtaining Gold certification for EDGE East Side Berlin.
