Architect: COBE | Owner/Developer: Salvis Consulting AG

Sugar Valley Munich is one of Germany’s most sustainable urban developments, recognised with a LEED‑ND Platinum certification. While the eleven buildings each express their own architectural identity, it is the façades that unify the ensemble and strongly shape the district's ecological performance.

We joined the project during the architectural competition, supporting the client as a jury member, and continued directly into Work Stage 1. This early involvement ensured that sustainability, material selection and technical feasibility were integrated from the outset and aligned with the design teams.

The resulting façade concept enhances user comfort, incorporates green façades, reduces CO₂ emissions, improves the microclimate, and gives the quarter its contemporary character.

Sugar Valley demonstrates the value of early façade planning: embedding ecological ambitions, strengthening design coherence and enabling robust, future‑ready building envelopes.
