ROCKYWOOD is a sustainable project that focuses on people. In just one and a half years, a place for “new work” was created on around 11,000 square meters. The highlight: ROCKYWOOD consists of two buildings - Rocky and Wood - which together form a micro-neighborhood. Wood was built using modular timber construction, which - similar to Timber Pioneer - ensures a pleasant and healthy indoor climate. Here, 2,600 cubic meters of wood were used, thus binding approx. 2,500 tons of CO2. Rocky, on the other hand, is a classic concrete building, but here various requirements were taken into account through architectural tricks: The loft offices allow an unobstructed view of Offenbach harbor and the two lower floors are connected via a ramp, which is a particular concern for the main tenant, a bicycle specialist. ROCKYWOOD is also home to a social project: the Nordend Offenbach Boxing Club, a nationally recognized violence prevention and integration project, will be able to use the premises and the outdoor “Playground” area rent-free for the next 20 years. Eike Becker: “The outdoor area with access to the banks of the Main is a publicly accessible meeting area in the middle of the ensemble. Our aim was to combine sustainable architecture and social commitment in office buildings with the best working atmosphere. ROCKYWOOD thus stands for creative neighborhood development with a positive climate footprint.”
