On the former Bernbacher factory premises in Munich, a square was closed: the Tassilo new build project, completed by Baywobau Immobilien AG, creates a harmonizing complement to the existing houses in the immediate vicinity. The city center location provides a view of the local surroundings but also means that the balconies are bombarded with noise.
A flexible glazing solution has now made the balconies into a much-needed quiet zone. As early as the planning phase, it was evident to the architect that only a glass enclosure around the balconies would be able to reduce the noise level.
The architect and the client opted for the Proline T Mega glazing system from Solarlux.
All 274 balconies have been fitted with a total of 1,679 glass elements. They provide sound insulation of over 11 dB, acoustically shielding both the balconies and the ground-floor patios. The high transparency of the system means the view is as unimpeded as ever. Meanwhile, the slide-and-turn elements allow the complete opening of the balcony and patio areas. Residents simply slide the elements to one side and fold them inward to open them. Thanks to the new glazing, both the quality of the space and the spacious character of the balcony are preserved.
