The names and location could not be more fitting: Project developer EDGE Technologies GmbH, in collaboration with the renowned architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), has brought the EDGE East Side to life on Warschauer Straße in Berlin-Friedrichshain. This energy-efficient office highrise is designed with cutting-edge technologies to meet the demands of modern sustainable and innovative construction. Designed as a vertical campus, the tower pushes boundaries in multiple ways. With a height of 140 m, it stands as Berlin’s tallest office building to date. The EDGE HQ holds the distinction of being the first German project to be WELL Gold certified, a tribute to the building’s exceptional health and well-being qualities. Smart building solutions are integral to the project, enhancing both user comfort and energy efficiency. The same objectives guided the developer and planners in the façade design: it features a double-skin, ventilated aluminum façade with integrated sun protection, using COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 II highperformance solar control glass in triple glazing units. Configured in this way, the façade boasts 61% light transmission, 30% solar factor and exceptional thermal efficiency (Ug-value of 0.6 W/m²K), thus optimizing daylight entry and minimizing energy demand. All these features contribute to the building’s outstanding overall performance. “Symbolises Berlin as a booming and lively city like no other.” Andreas Geisel Berlin’s Senator for Urban Development, Construction and Housing Video presenting the project GLASS FOR FAÇADE - 2025 EDITION BACK TO CONTENTS 19
