Employee-oriented work environment
Tyrolit Maisach
The operational and office building of Tyrolit is planned entirely according to the New Work principle and perfectly tailored to the needs of employees and their individual workflows. In addition, the integrally planned new building meets the most modern sustainability standards in the spirit of the Architekten und Ingenieure Green Deal and is executed according to the Efficiency House-40-Plus standard.
Changes within the company meant that the existing plant in Maisach no longer met the needs of the departments that were located there. By building the new facility in the recently opened industrial zone of Gernlinden SüdwestTyrolit, one of the leading global manufacturers of grinding and dressing tools and supplier of systems to the construction industry, was able to optimize its processes and reduce its consumption of resources. With an area of just 1,816 m², the operational and office building may be relatively small, but it contains a range of areas – a workshop, store, and offices – that had to be given equal consideration during the planning process.
Once again, the cooperative interdisciplinary approach of ATP architects engineers was a guarantee for success. Only by working together were we able to ensure the high quality of the design and avoid wasting resources, time, and energy, despite the complexity of the spatial structures.

Bespoke
Employees’ expectations of their working environments have risen hugely over recent years. Hence, the “world of work of tomorrow” must offer inspiring, identity-defining, and flexible surroundings that encourage cooperation and optimally support a range of working processes. This must also be taken into account during the design process.
When designing the interiors, we intensely addressed the individual requirements of the users. It was important to us to create a dynamic, modern, and comfortable environment, in which we would also like to work.

Wood, wherever one looks
The ATP design team makes skillful use of the natural material wood in both the internal and external areas. The facade has a timber frame with an outermost layer of wooden slats. The interiors also make intensive use of local wood. The upper floor, which contains the offices, has a timber structure. The roof consists of laminated timber boards, which remain visible between the multifunctional ceiling sails and combine with the similarly visible timber stairs and beams to create a pleasant and homely working atmosphere. The walls of the attractive roof terrace are made of large multilayer larchwood panels and the floors are finished with pine floorboards. The larch facades are extended upwards to wrap around the technical zone to the north of the roof terrace as a means of maintaining the clear form of the building.
Sustainability as a basic principle
ATP architects engineers paid close attention to sustainability, energy efficiency, and the careful use of resources from the very first and throughout all phases of the project, fully in the spirit of the ATP Green Deal: The building was realized in line with the EEG 40 Plus standard and generates energy for ongoing operations via a heat pump and the large roof-mounted photovoltaic plant, with any excess energy being fed into the heating circuit via a heating element. The building is exclusively lit by low- energy LED lamps, which can be controlled according to need with the help of a presence sensor and a time program. A partially green façade and roof improve further the building's carbon footprint.
