Project

SXB located at Südkreuz in Berlin is now home to a breathtaking 4-layer ETFE membrane roof.

At Temme // Obermeier, we are immensely proud of our installation team and our ARGE partnership with Biedenkapp Stahlbau because we installed the wood-steel hybrid supporting structure and twelve elegantly shaped ETFE "cushions" in only three months.

This bright atrium will enable natural daylight to flood into the building and the integration of our bespoke T//O FlexShade^® variable shading technology can regulate the amount of sunlight entering the amount of sunlight entering the building on demand to ensure optimal occupant comfort. The atrium offers employees and visitors plenty of informal spaces for impromptu coffees or meetings.

We are delighted to have completed another successful transparent ETFE membrane project in our nation´s capital. This project, similar to our project Lister Dreieck in Hannover, has been awarded DGNB PLATIN in 2022. It has also won other architectural prizes.
