The German Federal Environment Agency’s new building in Dessau is certainly an eye-catcher. The building was designed as a colourful, gently curving ‘strip’ made from wood, metal and glass, and it defines the whole site. The building designed by the Sauerbruch Hutton architecture agency is also quite ambitious in terms of energy efficiency and ecological aspects. The long atrium in this new building is a protected room with greenery and also serves as a thermal buffer. As an EnOB model project, the building was subject to intensive scientific monitoring. The results are now available.
