Rotpunkt Küchen, UN17-Village
Sustainable kitchens for a sustainable new neighborhood
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were laid down by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda, are a global plan to promote peace and prosperity and to protect our planet. A Danish property developer wanted to know how this ambitious program can be incorporated into architecture and has realized a construction project in line with the 17 SDGs with the UN17 Village. 800 people now live there on the outskirts of Copenhagen in five building complexes. The kitchens in their new, sustainable home come from Rotpunkt Küchen, the exclusive kitchen supplier for this construction project, which also uses materials from Pfleiderer for its kitchens. We spoke to Managing Director Andreas Wagner about his company's sustainability goals.

Model house Friedl Holzbau
Wooden houses with purity
If you think of wooden houses outside Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, you quickly think of mountain panoramas and geranium balconies. But, of course, ultra-modern timber-frame or timber-frame construction methods have long been predominant when it comes to sustainable living with wood. Friedl Holzwerthaus in Obersüßbach in Lower Bavaria has perfected the symbiosis of quality, individuality and ecology with its prefabricated wooden houses. Pfleiderer spoke with Managing Director Richard Schinagl Jr.
New secondary school Braunschweig
An Expert project of Holzbau Brockhaus GmbH
Rising numbers of students, ageing infrastructure and a utilization situation that offers little room for flexibility. The case of the Neue Oberschule Braunschweig shows how sustainable school construction can succeed even under these conditions - with an intelligent, modular timber construction concept. Pfleiderer spoke to André Brockhaus, who, as Managing Director, is responsible for the construction of the building with his company Holzbau Brockhaus GmbH.
