Women’s housing and building cooperative in Messestadt München-Riem FrauenWohnen in der Messestadt München-Riem

A women’s housing and building cooperative in Munich. The residential complex, which was completed in January 2007, is located near the bathing lake in Riemer Park at Ingeborg-Bachmann-Straße 26/28. Forty-nine apartments from 36 to 78 sqm (subsidized and privately financed), common rooms and a commercial unit for freelance professionals form the structural framework for a lively residential project that stands out with its architecture. The ultra-low-energy house (kW 40) of a passive house standard has, in addition to controlled living space ventilation, the option of using radiators to adjust room temperature to individual needs. The following facilities are available to everyone: a common room with a terrace leading to a large communal courtyard, a guest apartment, a laundry room and a kitchen garden for residents. A lively neighbourhood with a lot of civic engagement has developed here in recent years.
