In collaboration with the London-based architectural firm ‘acme’, a new supermarket for REWE Markt GmbH has been built. Its unique and sustainable design is intended to serve as a model for other stores.
The supermarket, made of timber and glass, has a unique roof with an aquaponic farm. This shopping-centre-of-the-future both sells and produces resource-saving food products.
The supermarket’s outdoor facilities underscore this innovative concept. A focal point is the green landscaped area, planted with native perennials and urban-climate-resistant hop hornbeam trees, with parking spaces arranged in a radial pattern.
Minimal surface sealing and the establishment of green areas combine to create natural oases that offer climate protection for both people and animals.
