In the east of Regensburg, a "living space with a view" was built at the site of a former sugar factory between 2016 and 2017. The view of the rooftops of the city and its cathedral as a landmark is directly in the line of sight of the apartments in this complex. The investor was clear from the beginning – quality housing for the apartment owners and maximum profit from living space for him.
The Sky Towers project consists of four point buildings with a total of 128 apartments and a living area of 8,700 m² The residential units range from approximately 35 to 400 m², offering a selection of housing for investors from all socioeconomic groups. Regardless of size, all apartments share a high quality of living space, not only from a technical perspective. The location offers perfect views and ample open space, full of greenery and recreational opportunities. Emphasis was always placed on sufficient contact between the apartment and the surrounding greenery, in the form of terraces, balconies, gardens, and rooftop gardens. Each apartment comes with a basement space and a parking space in the underground garage of the building. The building and apartments also meet very high standards for insulation and low thermal losses.
Extremely slim outer walls, minimal energy costs, and maximum profit in space were key in the Sky Towers project The architects worked with this brief already in the design phase of the entire structure, and the execution company fully adapted to the specifications. Collaboration between architects, façade specialists, and technical representatives from Sto bore fruit, and thanks to the application of the StoTherm Resol system, the investor's goals were achieved on time. Although the application of the thin and highly efficient façade system took a bit longer: the time-consuming work included cutting insulation panels to the required size and necessary anchoring, it was essential to let everything dry thoroughly and reinforce it. However, the insulation panels from the StoTherm Resol insulation system brought advantages as well. They are non-combustible, do not melt when heated, and thus the façade company did not need any additional fire barriers. The thin panels also proved to be ideal for use in balcony recesses. The final surface of the façade consists of a 2 mm grain silicone resin plaster StoSilco K, which the façade company often uses as a finish for StoTherm Resol. An alternative is the organic final plaster Stolit with two coatings of either StoColor Silco G or StoColor Dryonic. Both of these combinations enable achieving the highest possible level of protection against premature infestation by algae or fungi.
