The innovative office building \u201eheylo\u201c<\/em><\/strong><\/a> in D\u00fcsseldorf<\/strong> is ready to set new standards for modern workspaces following extensive renovation and modernization. With a clear focus on sustainability, quality of stay, and well-being, Heylo not only offers a forward-thinking work environment but also serves as an inspiring example of the integration of green technologies \u2013 including two of our CityBreeze moss filters, as we reported last year in \u201c<\/strong>Biotope with an Excellent Business Climate”<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

A Green Centerpiece for Modern Work<\/strong><\/h5>\n

At the heart of Heylo lies the light-filled atrium, which, thanks to urban gardening, lush greenery, and inviting retreats, creates an oasis of calm and inspiration. This is where our CityBreeze moss filters<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/strong> come into play, which not only impress visually but also make a measurable contribution to improving air quality. The multifunctional air filters and coolers blend seamlessly into the atrium\u2019s design \u2013 just as moss does in nature. They filter pollutants from the air, reduce fine dust, and create a pleasant microclimate that significantly enhances the quality of stay for users.<\/p>\n

“At Heylo, the well-being of users is the top priority. A pleasant indoor climate is essential \u2013 it promotes health, productivity, and inspiration. Through sustainable design, intelligent technology, and natural elements, a work environment is created that combines efficiency with quality of stay”,<\/em> says Lars Fr\u00f6hling, Country Head Germany, Co-Head of Asset Management Europe, Pimco Prime Real Estate GmbH<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sustainability Meets Innovation<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Located on Schwannstra\u00dfe in D\u00fcsseldorf\u2019s Golzheim district, Heylo is a prime example of sustainable construction. With a nearly CO2-neutral operation, state-of-the-art building technology, and DGNB Gold certification, it sets new standards. The integration of our CityBreeze modules underscores this commitment: They combine innovative air filtration technology with an aesthetic design that fits perfectly into urban and architectural concepts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

“Based on the principles of ‘biophilic’ \u2013 literally \u2018life-loving\u2019 \u2013 design, the garden elements of the atrium create a natural symbiosis of furnishing and function. Alongside tall trees, planted seating islands, and green room dividers, a cozy and high-quality design provides space for growth in every sense.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Studies show that green elements in buildings not only improve air quality but also enhance productivity and the well-being of users. Learn more in our blog article on workplace air quality<\/em><\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>

The natural moss filters reduce pollutants and create a healthier indoor climate. Additionally, the mosses contribute to air humidification through natural evaporation, further enhancing the indoor environment and providing a more comfortable atmosphere for users. On hot days, a temperature reduction of up to 4 Kelvin (Celsius) is possible.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
