Headquarter Windkraft Simonsfeld

The two-storey extension is based on a timber-hybrid construction, complemented by clay walls. These function both as thermally activated storage mass and as a design element, creating a warm and natural spatial atmosphere. The consistent use of regional building materials significantly reduces the ecological footprint of the structure.

The new premises offer modern work environments, generous daylight zones, and a variety of areas for teamwork, informal exchange, and focused work. In addition, a flexible event hall has been created, featuring an integrated restaurant serving vegetarian and vegan cuisine. The building structure is designed for maximum adaptability, allowing future modifications or expansions with minimal construction effort — an essential factor for a company that continues to grow.

A central role is played by the building’s energy concept:
– 11 geothermal probes provide the basis for efficient heating and cooling.
– Thermally activated clay components regulate the indoor climate naturally.
– A full-coverage photovoltaic system on the roof generates an annual output of around 54,846 kWh.
– The specific heating demand is 28.5 kWh/m²a, with CO₂ emissions at 5.4 kg/m²a.

The charging infrastructure for electric vehicles was also expanded, seamlessly integrating the building’s energy concept into the company’s overall mobility strategy.

With this investment in its new headquarters, Windkraft Simonsfeld not only strengthens the quality of its location. The corporate hub also serves as a spatial expression of the company’s philosophy: holistic sustainability, regional value creation, and the promotion of attractive green jobs.
