Knorr-Bremse AG Technology Center

The new Knorr-Bremse AG Technology Center was integrated in amongst the existing buildings on the company premises on Moosacher Straße in northern Munich. The newbuild, which consists of three cubes connected via glass bridges, has a clean and unique volume and form, setting it clearly apart from the existing buildings without competing with them. The cubes are slightly offset from one another, creating a generous forecourt in front of the ensemble’s main entrance and the middle cube. Each cube has a central atrium with an all-glass façade, which provides exciting lines of sight and the perfect amount of natural light for the work spaces and break rooms. In the middle cube, the atrium serves as a prestigious entrance hall for the conference and meeting rooms, which are located next to the office and research areas. The attractive Schüco all-glass façade is an important part of the energy concept and means that over 90 % of the building volume does not need additional air conditioning. The highly sophisticated interplay between the building envelope, the building management system and the building technology enabled a sustainable and resource-saving energy concept to be developed and implemented for the new Technology Center.
