Project details

Regensburger Viertel

In the new residential district “Regensburger Viertel” in the Franconian metropolis, ecological considerations play a central role. Even during the planning phase, great importance was placed on preserving the existing tree population. The zoning plan also mandates green roofs, as well as ground-level Facade greenery. This provides sound insulation, improves the microclimate, and contributes to ecological enhancement, while greening both steel and solid walls.

Due to the required plant height and the specific plant load class, intermediate brackets were necessary, the design of which was determined based on structural analysis. The GREENCABLE Heavy bracket system from Carl Stahl ARC was used, which is specifically designed for higher loads and greater greening heights. An adapter plate was also developed to ensure secure Anchoring the masonry joints, reliably transferring the resulting loads into the building. An additional advantage was the system’s stock availability, which allowed the tight construction schedule to be met.

When combined with GREENCABLE Light, this can create a shrub-like vegetation cover in the lower section. The arrangement of the cables creates a tree-like appearance in the courtyard, whilst also promoting biodiversity and providing a cooling effect – right in the heart of the city.
