An existing inner-city property at Augustenstrasse 2 in Stuttgart and a facade that has it all: A project is currently under construction here that is unparalleled in terms of complexity. Inclined substructures with angles of up to 121°, tight space conditions in the middle of the city and the requirement to make no compromises in terms of aesthetics or technology. BEMO accompanied the refurbishment from the very beginning.
Project overview: Refurbishment in a central Stuttgart city center location
The refurbishment of the existing building at Augustenstraße 2 in 70178 Stuttgart poses special challenges from the outset. In the heart of the city, surrounded by dense development and a sophisticated architectural environment, the task was to professionally renovate a facade area of around 600 m² while meeting the highest standards in terms of appearance, durability and thermal insulation.
The project is being realized in close cooperation between the planning architects Plan 11 GmbH and the experienced fabricator Altvater GmbH. The construction period extends over the years 2025 and 2026.
The technical challenge: inclined substructure up to 121°
What makes this project particularly special from a technical point of view is the unusual installation angle of the substructure. With inclinations of up to 121°, planners and fabricators had to master considerable geometric deviations from the standard.
The solution lay in the consistent use of the overall BEMO system: the combination of TEKOFIX-A++ substructure and BEMO-BOND INVISO cladding meant that even extreme angular deviations could be mapped in a technically clean manner. The BEMO-BOND INVISO panels are installed at an angle and concealed. The result is a smooth, calm facade surface in white and light gray that blends harmoniously into the Stuttgart cityscape.
Everything from a single source – the decisive BEMO advantage
A key success factor in this project was the holistic system solution from BEMO. Planning, substructure and facade cladding come from a single source. If questions arise, there is one point of contact. If adjustments need to be made because a slope is slightly different than expected, this is solved within the system and not discussed between manufacturers.
Several technicians with different specialties worked together on this project and evaluated various solutions before the best technical and technical variant was implemented. It is precisely this type of jointly developed solution that makes the difference.
Sustainability and energy efficiency: thermal bridge-free substructure as a quality feature
Energy efficiency plays a key role, especially when renovating existing buildings. Thermal bridges in the facade are an often underestimated problem: they cost energy, promote moisture problems and reduce the value of a building in the long term. The thermal bridge-free BEMO TEKOFIX-A++ thermal console effectively eliminates this risk in critical facade areas and thus makes an important contribution to maintaining the value and energy efficiency of the building.
Stuttgart, right in the middle
The Augustenstraße 2 project in Stuttgart shows what is possible when a system provider thinks consistently through to the end: from planning to the substructure to the finished facade cladding. With BEMO-BOND INVISO and TEKOFIX-A++, products are available that can handle even the most challenging geometries – such as sloping facade elements with extreme inclinations – with technical mastery.
The project is still ongoing. When it is finished, Augustenstrasse 2 in Stuttgart will have a façade that shows what good planning and consistent system technology can do to an existing building.
