| Building materials/biology | In the construction of the Hundertwasser House, 12,000 cubic metres of recycled concrete were used, which saves large quantities of natural resources such as gravel and sand by reusing demolition materials produced during construction and reduces the need for landfill for construction waste. The use of recycled concrete was carried out in close coordination with the TU Darmstadt, Institute for Solid Construction, Prof. Peter Grübl, and is one of the pioneer projects in Germany in this respect. | |

| Free space | "Tree tenants" (trees growing out of the house), roof whitewashing. | |

| Notes | The Forest Springs 1/2020 was chosen by dbMobil readers as their "favorite place" of db travelers.
Hundertwasser's influence extends to the form and design of the building as well as the design of the outdoor facilities. The architectural supervision of the building project was in the hands of the Plochingen-based architectural firm Springmann, which has already collaborated with Friedensreich Hundertwasser on various projects. |
