Prinz Eugen Park

The Prinz Eugen Park housing project in Munich, Germany, is a pioneering ecological model settlement that sets new standards in timber construction. The project, located on a former barracks site, features eight individual timber construction projects with a total of approximately 570 apartments, including both privately and publicly funded rented flats. The buildings vary in design, height, and energy standard, showcasing diverse timber hybrid forms and all-wood construction. The project prioritizes sustainability, with a focus on resource protection and climate protection impact. Ecological assessments were conducted to measure the importance of timber construction in reducing carbon emissions, with at least 12,500 tonnes of CO₂ stored in the long term. The project includes various amenities such as daycare centers, schools, and community facilities, promoting social and ecological aspects. The buildings are designed to be energy-efficient, with features like passive solar energy, green roofs, and sliding shutters with wooden slats for sun protection.
