Senior Living Wildburg
GermanyCompany Name: G+K Ausbau- und Sanierung GmbH
Project description
The first part of the Wildburg was built in 1698 and the castle has had a vivid history with various different uses since then, such as home for the lords of Wiltberg, military hospital, home of the disabled, convent and finally a boarding school. In 2019 an investor decided to convert the Wildburg into a new use as a home for senior people.
The building complex consists of three parts of which two are listed buildings and the conversion was extremely complicated due to their previous different uses. To achieve the required fireprotection a huge variety of Rigips systems were necessary, in some cases even special solutions with Rigips Glasroc F 25 and Rigips Die Dicke 25 RF had to be developed. But effective sound insulation between the residential units also played considerable role. Therefore, Rigips Die Dicke 20, RigiProfil MultiTec studs as well as ISOVER Akustic TP & Akustic SSP mineral wool were used. Most bathrooms in the apartments didn’t have exterior windows. Their illumination with natural light was realised with skylights, carried out with plasterboard stripes and frameles glazing.
The result is an amazing retirement home which combines the charm of the old castle with modern living standards. The German jury praised the expert use of the contractor’s dry lining expertise which was necessary to develop the numerous constructions in order to achieve the required fire and sound protection. The building owner was very pleased with the overall result and already placed the next project with the contractor.
