The Munich Urban Colab is a place where start-ups work with the state capital of Munich, established companies and scientists on the urban challenges of the future. Their common goal is to develop smart, entrepreneurial innovations for the city of the future. Across a useable area of 11,000 square metres in the creative district near the main train station, around 300 people have been able to work together on their ideas and the implementation of those ideas since its opening in June 2021. As a standalone structure within the creative quarter development, the newbuild has been constructed as a multistorey hall that is on the same scale as the surrounding buildings and that is based on the neighbouring Tonnenhalle and Jutierhalle structures which have listed building status. In line with the desire for communication, visibility and movement, the Munich Urban Colab has an open structure both between the storeys and towards the outside world.

The ground floor, with its café and Maker Space, and the first floor, are freely accessible. Openness is also a basic principle of the co-working spaces. Depending on the requirements, the central, two-storey foyer can become a multifunctional event space when used together with the stepped arena, the first floor and the free space in front of the café.

The meandering shape of the building in the upper storeys creates interesting recesses in the volume. What is really ingenious, however, is that the two courtyards to the west are covered by unheated conservatories that support the climate control concept of the newbuild.

Product information

AWS 75 BS.HI+

Highly thermaly insulated block window with concealed vent for sophisticated design requirements

With outstanding thermal insulation values and a slimline design without visible vent contours, Schüco AWS 75 BS.HI+ (Block System High Insulation) meets the highest energy-efficiency and architectural requirements with the greatest possible transparency.

The aluminium block window system is part of the Schüco AWS modular system for the 75 mm basic depth and features optimised characteristics in terms of function, energy efficiency and design.

Thanks to a high level of system flexibility, attractive design solutions are possible for a wide range of architectural requirements in the building envelope: as a punched opening, ribbon window or insert unit in Schüco façade systems as well as a "floating window".

Highly thermally insulated window system with attractive range of solutions

As part of the Schüco AWS system platform, Schüco AWS 70.HI (High Insulation) offers an attractive range of solutions with outstanding thermal insulation for the 70 mm basic depth.

It is based on the functional, energy-efficiency and design properties of the aluminium construction: perfectly tailored components combine benefits such as excellent thermal insulation values, narrow face widths and concealed, standard manual or electromechanical fittings for inward and outward-opening windows.

The high level of flexibility of the system enables a variety of uses to meet a range of different building envelope requirements: as a punched opening, ribbon window or façade insert unit, as well as in combination with Schüco door systems.

Non-insulated, flexible smoke protection construction with a basic depth of 65 mm

The Schüco ADS 65.NI SP non-insulated smoke protection door system for single and double-leaf doors, including the system fittings, has been fully tested in accordance with DIN 18085 and EN 1634-3.

The proven aluminium series with smoke protection properties is based on stable hollow-chamber profiles with a basic depth of 65 mm and can be optionally upgraded to a multi-functional door for additional building security and automation requirements.

High-performance mullion/transom façade with 50 mm face width – the basis for a variety of solutions

The Schüco FWS 50 façade system is an impressive basic system for façades and skylight areas with a high level of flexibility and attractive design options, including optimised fabrication and installation processes. Thanks to a broad system range, solutions for the most varied requirements and applications can be implemented.

A transparent system solution integrated in the profile for spandrel safety barriers blends seamlessly and elegantly into the external façade appearance.

Multifunctional solution for large-format commercial doors with high continuous loads

The Schüco ADS 75 HD.HI (Heavy Duty High Insulated) aluminium door system combines high durability with multiple functions and attractive design options – perfect for challenging commercial buildings with high security requirements.

The extremely stable Heavy Duty system is designed specifically for heavy or oversized door leafs with large opening widths and high continuous loads.

Door and wall construction for multi-functional fire and smoke-protection applications

The proven Schüco ADS 80 FR 30 (Fire-Resistant) door system with a basic depth of 80 mm, which is based on highly stable 5-chamber hollow profiles, features impressive versatility in terms of application, function and design.

For additional requirements in building security and automation, the highly stable aluminium systems for fire and smoke-protection applications can be upgraded to multi-functional doors.
