Residential and commercial building in Munich

Façade shaped by modern EHRET folding sliding shutters. EHRET shutters come in a wide range of designs. They are highly functional and attractive at the same time. They offer protection from noise, the weather and sun and are a key defining feature on the façade of a building. This is certainly the case at the residential and commercial building on Munich's Arnulfstrasse.
Planning concept
apartment building
The ground floor of the apartment building built in 2012/2013 in the west of Munich accommodates a bank branch and a small retail outlet. Rented apartments and an office unit can be found on the upper floors. The building is close to the Hirschgarten and Nymphenburg Schlosspark. The Arnulfstrasse road on which the building is located is very busy. The planning concept is shaped primarily by the location of the property.
Acting as a buffer to adverse environmental impacts, it is mainly side rooms and the stairwell which are sited on the side next to the busy Arnulfstrasse. On the southern, quieter side the apartments have large glass windows and doors and stepped terraces. The 4-storey angled structure keeps traffic emissions away from the living quarters at the rear through its graduated height. Light flows from the south into the living spaces, making them bright and welcoming.
Façade design
durable and sustainable
The architects went for a hard-wearing, durable and sustainable façade design with fibre cement cladding the height of each storey, high-quality timber/aluminium sound-proofed windows and robust EHRET folding sliding shutters. The sound-proofed windows offer protection from disturbing noise. Their narrow upright format allows a lot of light into the living spaces. The folding sliding shutters from EHRET fulfil important functions.
They screen off adverse environmental impacts and offer protection from the sun from the west and east. At the same time, they are an aesthetic design element of the building. The open shutters, all arranged on the same side of the window, cast shadows which give the light-coloured façade a different structure depending on the time of day and use.
EHRET
folding sliding shutters
The EHRET folding sliding shutters require very little space to open and close. Smooth-running, ball-mounted rollers run in the slide rails with virtually no noise. The folding sliding shutters can be opened to their full width. Numerous models are available with fixed slats, totally closed surfaces or special fills. There is virtually no limit on the creative design options of the façade.
The folding sliding shutters on Arnulfstrasse were bonded with cladding made from fibre cement. They are made from the same material as the façade and thereby ensure a dynamic, yet harmonious look. The three-dimensional look of the façade changes all the time depending on whether the shutters are open or closed.
