R128

The four-storey R128 building designed by Werner Sobek is located on a steep site on the edge of the Stuttgart basin. It was designed as a completely recyclable, zero-heating-energy building with zero emissions during operation — as a pilot project for the built environment of tomorrow.

The World’s First Triple Zero Building

The fully glazed building has high-quality triple glazing with a k-value of 0.4. It has a modular design and is not only easy to assemble and dismantle due to its plug-and-screw assembly, but is also fully recyclable. The interior temperature is controlled by a newly developed climate concept.

The exposed steel supporting structure is an essential design and structuring element of R128. In addition, this construction contributes significantly to the short construction time and the complete recyclability of the building.
