"Revolutionary Housing Design by Florian Nagler Architekten in Bad Aibling"

Florian Nagler Architekten has developed a simple type of housing in Bad Aibling, Germany, based on the concept of "Build Simply". The house features a clear grid of 3.10 m and a solid, elongated access core, with outer walls made of solid cross-laminated timber panels. The design allows for the creation of eight apartments on each floor, offering a considerable number and variability of different possible layouts. The project is expected to be completed in 2022.

Heide & von Beckerath's Spiegelfabrik Housing: A Modern Marvel.

Heide & von Beckerath has transformed a former mirror factory in Fürth, Germany, into a communal residential scheme with a social and environmental focus. The Spiegelfabrik development consists of two end buildings and a connecting building that is accessed along alternating balconies. The building joint venture’s aspiration for community-oriented living in diverse and generation-spanning co-housing led to a mix of cooperative and owner-occupied accommodation. The building is a hybrid construction with 80% of its external walls made from prefabricated timber panels. Sustainability plays a major role in the design, construction, and operation of the Spiegelfabrik building, and also in neighborly living.
