Our services at a glance:
Optimization of the interior design
A healthy working environment starts with the right equipment. Low-emission, certified office furniture and the minimization of open shelving creates visual calm, prevents sources of dust and supports concentrated work.
Job security through minimization of stress
Reducing health-related stress in the workplace ensures that employees remain productive in the long term. This reduces absenteeism, increases satisfaction and makes the company more attractive as an employer - a clear competitive advantage in the battle for skilled workers.
Integration of air purifiers
The use of allergen-filtering ventilation systems removes pollen, allergens and pollutants from the indoor air in the long term.
Making health promotion verifiable
Investing in the health and well-being of employees is a clear plus point in the social ESG assessment criteria.
Allergy triggers in real estate -
when buildings make you ill
With our comprehensive expertise, we support you in creating interiors that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing, but above all health-promoting. Our holistic approaches take into account both structural and usage-related aspects to ensure optimal solutions for your projects.
Office
Concentration needs clean air: the focus is on low-allergen and low-emission materials, good ventilation and equipment. An allergy-friendly office is a key success factor for healthy, motivated teams and modern companies.
Educational institutions
Educational institutions are long-term places of residence. The immune system of children and young people is still developing. They react more sensitively to pollutants, allergens and irritants in the indoor air. The younger the children, the higher the risk of health problems - e.g. asthma, skin irritations or concentration problems.
Public buildings
Health protection is part of municipal services of general interest. The public sector has a special responsibility for health standards. Public buildings are role models - they show what responsible, allergy-friendly, healthy and sustainable construction can look like.
Nursing homes and hospitals
This is where particularly sensitive people live: older, weakened or chronically ill people - which is why allergy-friendly and low-pollutant construction is not only desirable, but essential.
At home
We spend the majority of our lives indoors - especially in living spaces. Poor air quality, pollutants or allergens in the home therefore have a direct and lasting effect on our health. That's why a healthy living environment is not a luxury, but a decisive factor for quality of life and prevention.
Hotels
First impressions count - also for health. Reduction of allergens with maximum comfort for visitors and employees. An allergy-friendly hotel concept increases guest satisfaction and creates a real quality advantage.
