Detached houses/apartment buildings
Recognition for energy-efficient facade systems (ETICS) 2025
A former community center on the market square in Tailfingen, Albstadt, has been converted and expanded into a multi-generational house: this project was carried out in an exemplary manner in terms of urban planning, design, sustainability and implementation.
The two design languages of the old building and the new building complement one another: once rectangular and clear-cut, now organic and fluid, together they create an intriguing symbiosis. The entire building envelope was equipped with an energy-efficient ETIC system made of anchored Brillux stone wool panels.
Reference project: Moltkestraße, Albstadt
In Tailfingen, Albstadt, a former community center from 1938 has been transformed into a multi-generational house featuring twelve accessible living units thanks to an extension – sensitively expanded, cleverly condensed and creatively reinterpreted. The old and new buildings engage in a successful urban development dialog that connects the past and the present.
The new building envelope is understated – yet makes a clear statement. The old and new buildings were equipped with a Brillux thermal insulation composite system featuring anchored stone wool panels, which ensure energy efficiency and water-vapor-permeability. Thanks to Mineral Lightweight Render KR K5 3632, the surface was given a render appearance with a natural grain size supporting the plasticity of the facade. The final coating of Extrasil 1911 Protect provides lasting protection against weathering and microorganisms in a matt, harmonious appearance that is well-suited to the sensitive inner-city location.
The project consistently follows the principle of resource-efficient construction: reuse of load-bearing elements from the old building, solid brickwork in the new building and targeted use of natural, durable building materials. Regional value creation was the guiding principle: from Liapor stone from the neighboring town to spruce from the Black Forest for the wood-aluminum windows. The result is not only a sustainable housing model, but also an urban design statement for circular construction in rural areas.
The craftsmanship used in the implementation of the facade system is just as impressive as the choice of materials. The natural grain size of the Mineral Lightweight Render KR K5 3632 supports the plasticity of the facade. The mineral exterior paint Extrasil 1911 Protect was used to create a high-quality, unobtrusive color scheme.
