Our Research Workshop in Berlin

Our Research Workshop is a laboratory of research, demonstration, and learning. Almost every project at Bauhaus Earth connects to it — we test materials, prototype building systems, build exhibition pieces, and share knowledge in hands-on learning formats.

‍
The workshop, located close to our Berlin office at the Atelier Gardens Campus, is fully equipped for woodworking, processing raw earth and biofibers, and reusing building elements. The 325 m² space provides the infrastructure for experimenting, prototyping and small-scale production. We combine different low-carbon materials in building components that meet the complex prerequisites of durable construction. The space also hosts events, talks, and exhibitions, bringing in cutting-edge research and innovation from around the world.

Our workshop facilitates technical and material innovation, as well as demonstration and experimentation, education and learning

At the core of our approach lies the holistic development of building materials and components starting from foundational research and concluding with the integration of our innovations into industry, demonstration buildings and training programs for craftspeople and planers. We aim to develop solutions that are environmentally viable and affordable when produced at scale.

⟶ Unfired earth blocks certified for load-bearing construction.

⟶ A novel material of shells and algae.

⟶ Recycled concrete slabs from demolished buildings.
