Optimized Cover, Innovative Spaces Sustainable constructional concepts, passive- and low-energy houses are indeed the dictates of the hour. The recipe of compact, high-insulated constructions, however, frequently leads to reduced, sculptural, functional interactions between constructions and their environments. Flöckner Schnöll projects show fascinating alternatives to such stereotypes. They link efficient energy concepts and up-to-date modes of construction with innovative spatial solutions. Here, to optimize a building's envelope is in agreement with an enrichment of the volumes' interior complexity, whereas such an inner development, a conversion of conventional types of buildings, does not stop at the individual object. Rather, it is followed up as a principle of entire development structures. [...]
