The "Wobau Binzengrün" residental building was erected amid Freiburg as a project of the Freiburger Stadtbau GmbH (FSB). It consits of subsidized rental apartments, which are accessible without barriers, as well as condominiums, and impresses with its colourful design. Thiele Glas was involved in the project from the very beginning through its architectural consulting services. The concept was developed in cooperation with the architectural office “mbpk Architekten und Stadtplaner GmbH”. For the windows in the stairways, insultaing glass made out of laminated and tempered safety glass was used, which gets its uniqueness from the VANCEVA colour film. The use of coloured glass also characterizes the facade. These elements are moveable and suitable as sun protection. The transparent noise barrier to the main street was designed with a ceramic print as bird protection.
