Address: Lynarstrasse 35-37

Wood construction
Timber frame construction
3700 cubic metres of wood. Spruce and Douglas fir from DE and AT

Energy
KfW 40 house

Construction costs
1,293 Euro/m² gross floor area

Rental costs
Half of the flats were rented to tenants with a housing entitlement certificate for 6.50 euros per square metre net cold. The other flats cost eight to nine euros per square metre. Only the residents on the top floor pay 12 to 13.50 euros per square metre.

Funding
The low rents are possible because the builder received 2.5 million euros in funding from the Senate programme "Experimental multi-storey housing" as part of the Special Infrastructure for the Growing City (SIWA). In addition, the building site was very favourable. The commercial site in Lynarstraße was considered unusable for many years because it is located directly on the S-Bahn line. In the residential building itself, however, almost nothing can be heard of the Ringbahn traffic.
