Initial situation
Initial situation
Stuttgart-Weilimdorf is a well-known office location. For a long time, a large area on Weissacher Straße has not been used optimally with regard to space efficiency and is facing a new direction due to the upcoming departure of a major tenant.
The good connection to the city center is set to become even better in the near future: In addition to the S-Bahn station that is already within walking distance today, the City of Stuttgart is planning an underground station in the immediate vicinity.
Concept
Concept
With the new construction (W9), a location for knowledge- and innovation-driven companies is being created at Wissenscampus in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf. The recipe for the development's success is based on the reorganization of the above-ground parking areas.
WÖHR + BAUER is constructing a compact multi-story parking garage with a high capacity. This creates space for a modern office building.
The new building, designed by wma Architekten, stands out not only for its extravagant design, but also as a green building with a sophisticated sustainability concept.
Following the construction of W9, WÖHR + BAUER is dedicating itself to revitalizing the existing W11 ensemble and pursuing further development on the site. In the coming years, a business district with a total of more than 68,000 sqm of floor space will be created under the name Wissenscampus.
Result
Even before construction begins, the property can be fully leased to the software company Vector.
A heat pump with an ice storage system cools in summer and heats in winter. Through this system, W9 generates approximately 85 percent of the required heat from renewable energy. Depending on the cooling requirements of the server rooms, up to 50 percent of the cooling energy is generated from renewable sources.
The design and architecture of W9 support chance encounters between people through a variety of connecting routes and thereby promote interaction.
