casa [ˈkasa] stands for house, apartment, dwelling, home, townhouse, terraced house...and this is exactly where the core competences of CASAA Architekten PartGmbB lie - we specialize in housing. Our specialist areas include design of detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses and multi-family houses, refurbishments, remodeling and extensions of houses.
Our goal is a high-quality, healthy and ecological but at the same time cost-effective construction with minimal energy consumption. Thanks to the use of all components of the work systems and technologies we developed, it is possible to achieve cost reduction for planning and construction of a new building of up to 30% under the local prices.
Increasingly, clients want everything from a single source and this is exactly where our strength lies. We think in holistic concepts and are the contact person from the first sketch to the key handover. Houses designed by CASAA Architekten PartGmbB are modern, completely individual and based on bioclimatic architecture, taking into account the necessary codes and customers’ needs.
Sustainability is our goal and in order to enable building and planning of high-quality, ecological houses, we consider the following three principles and apply them depending on the project:
Economics is important to us, therefore, we consider three factors that contribute to cost reduction in planning and make cost savings in house construction feasible:
With bioclimatic architecture, maximum comfort with minimum energy consumption is achieved in a house or building. When planning, the climatic conditions of the environment are transformed into the inner comfort by intelligently designing the house and taking into account the location, natural light, sun orbit, air currents and building materials.
In a bioclimatic home, a high percentage of energy can be saved for heating and cooling if purely architectural mechanisms are applied to the design of the house. In this way we can take advantage of the energy that nature offers us. In order to achieve these goals, CASAA Architekten PartGmbB takes the following points into considaration when planning bioclimatic houses:
We plan passive houses using ecological building materials, which are far more energy efficient than traditional houses, because we use resources of bioclimatic architecture in the planning. Our passive houses have a very low energy consumption and offer a pleasant room temperature all year round - in contrast to traditional houses - without the use of conventional heating.
Our houses are eco-houses and consist of purely ecologically valuable building materials. We attach great importance to sustainability and build with carefully selected and certified building materials that have no harmful substances, which allows a 100% healthy home. In our eco-houses there is a healthy indoor climate and you breathe only the best air.
The appartment prices are rising rapidly and most families are familiar with only two ways of acquiring a home - a new real estate property from a developer or an existing property from a real estate agent. To achieve the return of about 10-20% from the sale, a developer must keep building materials cheap and space quality simple. When acquiring an existing property, a real estate agent must charge a commission of up to 7.14% of the sales price.
Building communities offer a good, cheaper alternative to a new flat of your own. Planning and building with CASAA Architekten PartGmbB in building communities offers families the opportunity to design their own new apartment or house ecologically, healthy, and with the use of high-quality building materials and thereby save real estate developer and real estate agent costs.
The house quality is very high, since CASAA Architekten PartGmbB is a home buyers' partner and not an investor's partner. Or in other words - every home buyer who belongs to a building community is also an investor. Building in a building community is building at cost price. There is full cost transparency and families have the opportunity to get affordable housing.
Building in a building community has other benefits. Building communities are characterized by social integration and high neighborhood quality. The future neighbors of the house get to know each other even before moving into their own four walls. Many building communities therefore share the same interest and thus create a stable, social interaction.
CASAA Architekten PartGmbB accompanies the clients in the complex process and supports the building communities in the following topics:
Advantages of building communities:
If you are interested in one of our ongoing projects, first check whether the desired apartment or house is financially viable for you. A proof of finance is a prerequisite for your acceptance into the building community.
The term efficiency house is an energy standard for residential buildings, which the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) has introduced. KfW is a national development bank that offers cheap loans and subsidies and supports the construction, purchase or renovation of residential property. A KfW efficiency house has various energy standards: KfW 70, 55, 40 or 40 Plus. The smaller the ratio, the lower the energy requirement and the higher the financial support.
The Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) defines maximum values that a reference building must comply with. A KfW efficiency house 100 complies with the requirements of the EnEV. A KfW efficiency house 55 requires 55% of the reference building's energy, a KfW efficiency house 40 as low as 40%, and a KfW efficiency house 40 Plus requires more energy generation equipment and facilities.
The funding volume includes not only the pure purchase price for the building, but also ancillary costs and expenses for consulting and planning. CASAA Architekten PartGmbB plans and builds houses in accordance with the KfW efficiency house standards. If you are interested in one of our ongoing projects, first check whether the desired apartment or house is financially viable for you.
CASAA Architekten PartGmbB plans and builds based on the principles of bioclimatic architecture. In a bioclimatic home, a high percentage of energy can be saved for heating and cooling. We plan passive houses that are far more energy efficient than traditional houses because we use resources of bioclimatic architecture in the planning. In the long term, it means saving energy.
However, CASAA Architekten PartGmbB also uses systems and principles that enable planning and construction in the short term to be made more cost-effectively than traditional construction methods, and to make cost savings of up to 20% realistic.
CASAA Architekten PartGmbB offers contemporary solutions as well as sophisticated design and individually implements house concepts for different families. Clients are accompanied by the complex process from the first idea to the complete realization and key handover. Every life situation is analyzed and transformed into a unique architectural space.
