Meglingerstraße OSA Ochs Schmidhuber Architekten

Building for Tomorrow

A sustainable project taking shape in Munich's west. Spanning 18,000sqm, this bulding is designed to be climate-positive, energy-efficient, and CO2-neutral. With natural ventilation and a blend of offices, hotels, retail spaces, apartments, educational facilities, and industry, it aims to generate more energy than it consumes. Modular structure enables decentralized energy supply, while timber hybrid construction and integrated photovoltaics ensure efficient energy balance. Intelligent features like external sun protection and night cooling mitigate overheating. Heat shifts optimize energy use, supported by water-water and air-water heat pumps. Photovoltaics cover electricity demand, and the wood-hybrid design prioritizes recyclability.

Kistlerhofstrasse, OSA Ochs Schmidhuber Architekten

Laying of the foundation stone in Kistlerhofstrasse

We are incredibly excited to announce the laying of the foundation stone at Kistlerhofstraße Munich! Together with partners and friends, we filled the traditional time capsule, looked down into the 17-meter-deep excavation pit as a farewell toast to Munich's first wood-hybrid office pushed to the limit.

The forward-looking project creates new space for the headquarters of the Bavarian Red Cross. The wood hybrid building will have an excellent carbon footprint. The energy concept ensures that 98% of the primary energy demand is covered. Despite the high demands on the operation of the BRK, 57% of the required electricity and heating/cooling will nevertheless be generated directly on site: a contribution to climate protection with the positive additional effect of reduced ancillary costs.

Herzog Max, OSA Ochs Schmidhuber Architekten

OSA transforms Karstadt Sport into '"Herzog Max"

The construction site is already in full swing - our Herzog Max is growing!
The building is listed as a Bavarian monument and characterises the cityscape of Munich's pedestrian zone. It is located directly at the Karlstor, the western city gate to the historic old town. The long east facade of the listed architecture, built around 1865, runs along Herzog-Max-Straße, after which the building was named. The last tenant was Karstadt, a department store for sporting goods. After that it stood empty. OSA is now developing a new type of multi-tenant structure for the Herzog Max for an exciting mixed use of research and teaching, gastronomy, and retail. The main tenant will be the Max Planck Institute.

Upgraded inconspicuousness

Today, Nymphenburgerstrasse presents itself as a mix between old and new. Next to the stuccoed early day houses stand architectures with smooth facades without decoration and simple, serial window arrangements. They were built in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. At Nymphenburgerstrasse 48 there is such a six-story building, erected in 1983, for which we planned and visualized a new layout.
