B-Part Am Gleisdreieck

Welcome to B-Part Am Gleisdreieck

This experimental lab in timber construction is for anyone who wants to discuss and develop solutions for the future of work, new mobility, and urban communities under one roof.

Spanning approximately 1,000 square meters, B-Part creates a meeting place for neighbours, park visitors, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts of art, sports, and culture, featuring coworking spaces, a public café, sports offerings, art exhibitions, and events. The heart of the building is the Urban Ideation Lab, which offers free, curated workspaces for exploring forward-thinking ideas and solutions for a livable urban quarter.

Sustainable construction methods

B-Part Am Gleisdreieck was constructed using prefabricated timber elements. The wooden structure is environmentally friendly, can be built in a short time, and is also recyclable. As a temporary timber building, B-Part will stand on the site for four to five years before being dismantled and reconstructed elsewhere. The wood used in the construction stores 350 tons of CO2 and also avoids an additional 350 tons of CO2 compared to a building made of concrete and steel.

B-Part's outer shell made of wooden slats creates a vibrant effect for the building with its double-bent shape. As one walks or drives by, the façade seems to change. The visible wooden ceilings and the walls clad in maritime pine create a natural and healthy atmosphere inside. The specially built mobile focus boxes made from maritime pine, large wooden workbenches, and the central outdoor staircase contribute to a pleasant room climate and encourage interaction.
