Hortus-Highlights
SUSTAINABILITY
Heading into the Future with Clay
HORTUS embodies consistent sustainability and innovation in construction. Environmental impacts are minimized, primarily through the use of renewable materials and energy-efficient technologies, without compromising quality for users. More
In fact, HORTUS produces more renewable energy than it consumes. Environmentally friendly materials such as wood, clay, and recycled paper are preferred, creating a pleasant, healthy working environment. Energy generation is maximized through photovoltaics. HORTUS is committed to the circular economy: every component is designed for reuse. The green courtyard serves as a place of relaxation and completes the sustainable overall concept.

Exclusive Project Insights
The potential of rammed earth is enormous.
In timber construction, everyone is looking for “mass,” both for fire protection and as thermal storage mass for cyclical thermal storage. In addition, rammed earth stores excess humidity that wood cannot absorb itself, regulates temperature by absorbing and releasing heat, insulates against air and body sound, and is even believed to have an antiseptic effect.
HORTUS is holistic.
There is no core and no shell – tenants occupy ready-to-use spaces equipped with flooring, walls, and other necessary infrastructure to maintain HORTUS’s sustainability standards. To accommodate tenants’ individual fit-out preferences, a kind of interior design catalog has been created. Additionally, furnishing and decoration are at the discretion of the tenant.
Special Trick for Wood Drying
Martin Keller, CEO of Konrad Keller Sägerei AG, swears by a very special trick for pre-drying the wood: “We have natural drying here: We place the wood as close as possible to the railway track. The train comes every half hour, and every time it passes by, the air is circulated, allowing us to pre-dry the wood for free.”
HORTUS is real
We are pleased to announce that we celebrated a successful topping-out ceremony in June. This important event marks a significant milestone for HORTUS. Together with our partners, craftsmen and future tenants, we celebrated the progress in style. We would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work and commitment.
In good company
