Old high bunker becomes a modern residential quarter - Case Study

Historical building fabric and 21st century energy technology

In Düsseldorf architect David Wodtke has converted a high bunker from the Second World War into a modern, sustainable building complex with flats and commercial space. Thanks to a photovoltaic system, E3/DC electricity storage and a combined heat and power unit, around 95 percent of the electricity demand, including for electric mobility, can be covered independently of the energy supplier. The tenants benefit from cheap electricity.
