Winning new customers and projects: HPP architects at the Expo
The architecture firm HPP, with eight locations in Germany and headquarters in Düsseldorf, uses the trade fair to acquire new customers and generate projects. The focus is on discussions with developers and making contacts. The importance of sustainability in architecture is particularly emphasized. With innovative concepts such as the greening of façades and the creation of recyclable buildings, the office focuses on sustainable construction methods. The aim is to design buildings in such a way that they can be completely recycled after 40 to 50 years without producing construction waste.
Challenges for residential construction: financing and rising costs
Residential construction is facing major challenges, especially since the coronavirus pandemic. High interest rates and increased construction costs have brought many projects to a standstill. This is having a negative impact on achieving the housing targets propagated by the German government. Increased material prices are making it more difficult to offer apartments at affordable prices. Investors who have been accustomed to high returns in recent years are having to adapt to the changed market conditions, which is leading to delays in new construction projects.
Sustainability and communication in office construction: trends in modern architecture
Communication and quality of stay are playing an increasingly important role in modern office construction. Roof terraces and communal spaces promote interaction and make buildings more attractive. At the same time, the aspect of sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in this area. The focus is on buildings that conserve resources and are built with the future in mind. Sustainable construction methods and recyclable materials are key factors in reducing the ecological footprint and increasing the attractiveness of construction projects at the same time.
