Office and commercial buildings

In Deggendorf in Lower Bavaria, a glass office tower with sophisticated architecture is attracting attention - the KARL Tower. With its generous glass façade and a height of 38 metres, the new office building is located close to the technical college and historic old town.

A total of 6,000 square metres of office space and conference rooms, which can be booked by both tenants and external interested parties, are spread over 10 floors, as well as a reception area and a day bar on the ground floor. On the 9th floor, the fine dining restaurant edl.eins offers Scandinavian-regional cross-over cuisine.

Unique and extraordinary throughout Europe - a high-rise quartet with a special character is being built in the centre of Frankfurt's banking district. Four different high-rise buildings connected by a building podium form the ensemble called FOUR.

The tower heights range from 100 to 233 metres. This makes Tower 1 one of the tallest skyscrapers in Frankfurt. Office and residential space for 5,000 people will be built on 213,000 square metres of floor space, as well as hotels, restaurants, retail and recreational areas. Completion of the entire neighbourhood is scheduled for 2025.

In addition to residental ventilation, KERMI is also involved in other product groups.

The name says it all. Extensive reconstruction work has brought the former main post office in Leipzig back to life. DAS LEBENDIGE HAUS is characterised by its versatile usage options. On a gross floor area of around 70,000 square metres, there are 322 serviced flats, offices, restaurants, a conference centre, a fitness studio, an underground car park with 366 parking spaces and various businesses and shops. The listed building on Augustusplatz, one of the largest city squares in Germany, also makes a special impression from the outside. An innovative work of light and sound art that spans the entire building, culminating in the glass 7th floor, makes the building highly visible both inside and out.

KERMI was responsible for fitting the radiators in the flats. The Basic-50 design radiators have an additional anti-corrosion coating. The coating makes the radiators particularly resistant and therefore suitable for rooms with an increased moisture load, such as bathrooms.

The concept behind the MY.O (short for “My Office”) building complex in Munich’s Laim district is based on creating a structure that is at once a permanent feature of the landscape and able to adapt to its occupants’ needs. Housing 1000 work stations over a floor space of 27000 m2, the office building was erected by CA Immo Deutschland GmbH and is considered to be the new focal point for the west side of Munich. What makes MY.O stand out is its unusual architecture with arch-shaped windows, some over two storeys high on both upper and lower floors, as well as the distinctive green colour of the facade.

The architecture intentionally mirrors the contours of the industrial buildings from the 19th and early 20th century, and continues this theme in the partly loft-like, spacious room concept, designed to offer outstanding versatility and a high-quality experience. With its strong identity, MY.O makes a real statement among the cityscape in the west of Munich. MY.O also offers numerous bicycle parking spaces, car parks, and charging stations for electric cars.

KERMI convectors have been installed in the offices, delivering impressive performance with their quick, effective heat output in front of large areas of glass. In addition, the building uses both therm-x2 plan radiators and vertical Verteo steel panel radiators.

The Max Bögl Group is an international construction company headquartered in Sengenthal, in the Bavarian district of Neumarkt. The next few years will see the construction of a campus with office buildings, a technology centre, and a range of community facilities at the headquarters site. The first four-storey building has been in use since August 2019 and, with its open office spaces, creates opportunities for creative and communicative work. The other buildings will connect via a pedestrian route that is part of an overarching open-space concept.

KERMI has supplied panel temperature control over a surface area of some 3000 square metres for this modern spatial concept. An additional manufacturing and servicing building on the site has also been equipped with around 2000 square metres of panel heating, including the x-net connect plus connection system. The combination of components in this system facilitates single room control with thermal insulation and increased sound insulation, which complies with the German Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV).

If you happen to pass by the Gilching Süd industrial estate, it is impossible not to stare admiringly at the striking appearance at DAS working & living HOUSE situated there. The distinctive, virtually cube-shaped building was constructed in two building phases (in 2015 and 2019). The building has approximately 6600 m2 of floorspace distributed over three floors.

There are now 17 companies and around 300 employees in the commercial property. Four different spatial concepts ensure it is a space with flexible uses. The office areas can be adapted on a modular basis to a size between 50 and 1500 m2, for example.

KERMI has provided the heat supply components for this special concept. The elegant Anthracite Grey colour used in the Verteo vertical steel panel radiators and convectors with a radiation shield ideally complement the modern design of the building.
