Administration building at the power plant Zolling

In the case of the administration building for the E.ON power plant in Zolling, the themes of light and energy were the factors that determined the form. The building's sectional design, which emerged from various studies, results from considerations of energy saving, daylight optimization and support for communication processes.

The south-sloping building makes increased use of glare-free daylight in the north and reduces thermal radiation in the south by exploiting the Fresnel effect. The angular, split-level office levels create a common, light-flooded airspace. Hierarchies among the floors are avoided, visual relationships for spontaneous encounters are established. The chosen spatial concept offers a coexistence of individually usable individual offices and different communication zones - concentrated work is promoted, coordination processes intensified. Heat and cold registers integrated close to the surface in the ceilings as well as a controlled supply and exhaust air system for hygienic air exchange contribute to well-being and comfort in the building.
