With the ‘honeycomb house’ in Munich's Riem district, Peter Haimerl Architektur is projecting the hexagonal structure into the building. Stacked together in a large cluster, the intersecting hexagonal tubes form a kind of beehive.

The provocative design by award-winning architect Peter Haimerl radically breaks with rectilinear standardised building structure.

The honeycomb symbolises communal living where residential landscapes are revitalised and interwoven.

Each honeycomb has a balcony to the west or east. Schöck Isokorb XT Type Q-P and Type H provide the thermal separation at the joint.

The use of the space in the honeycomb house is innovative and fluid: each room extends into another, walls disappear or become connecting staircases and pockets of space.

The honeycombs consist of horizontal in-situ concrete slabs and inclined hybrid precast elements.

The honeycomb house was built using conventional solid construction methods.

The "honeycomb house" in Munich, designed by Peter Haimerl Architektur, extends the concept of the hexagon to architecture and creates an innovative form of living. The building, which is inspired by the honeycomb structure, offers flexible living spaces and a unique split-level design. The building represents a departure from traditional residential structures and offers a variety of living configurations. There are no conventional staircases, but an organic arrangement of rooms and connecting staircases. The innovative construction method allows each room to flow into the next, creating a dynamic and fluid interior design.
The prefabricated balconies of the honeycomb house were specially adapted to be connected to the hexagonal structure. By using Schöck Isokorb® XT type Q-P in combination with type H, a customised solution was found that meets both aesthetic and functional requirements. This balcony connection not only ensures structural integrity, but also contributes to the thermal separation in the passive house standard, resulting in improved energy efficiency.
