LIAG 105 years: Andres puts the Munich sports complex in the spotlight

Tuesday Oct 8, 2024

LIAG is celebrating its 105th anniversary; an impressive milestone that gives us the opportunity to proudly reflect on a rich history while confidently looking ahead to new projects. During this time, we have designed, renovated, or transformed more than 1,050 buildings, always in co-creation with our clients. Our goal is to create environments that prioritize user happiness and add value to society.

To celebrate this special anniversary, the LIAG team will reflect on various projects from both the present and the past over the coming year. Andres Dani, BIM modeler, is the first to take the spotlight, showcasing the sports complex in Munich (Ebereschenstraße 15). “Not only was this my first project, but it was also a milestone for LIAG – the first project for the firm in Germany,” he enthusiastically shares. “The building is now complete. It is functional and sustainable, and it positively impacts the neighborhood.”

Looking back, Andres feels proud of both the design and the technical execution of this sports complex. “We made smart choices here, especially in terms of sustainability,” he explains. “By clearly separating heated and unheated spaces, we were able to significantly reduce the energy demand. The monolithic construction made the use of insulation material unnecessary, and the wooden façade – a biobased material – ensures that the building stands out in the neighborhood. Additionally, the green roof enhances local biodiversity.”

Now that the project has been in use for several years, Andres reflects on the outcome. “The sports complex must continue to prove itself over the years. However, with its timeless appearance and inviting character, it has become a place where people love to gather and engage in sports.” In terms of sustainability, he realizes that developments have not stood still since its completion. “Where our design choices were progressive at the time, they are often the norm now. Nowadays, there is a broader range of biobased materials and more opportunities to create energy-neutral buildings. This opens new doors for us.”
