Working environment with a welcoming atmosphere.
For the intralogistics specialist TUP, Vollack realized a two-story, partially three-story office building with a gross floor area of 1,750 square meters. The new building is connected via a link structure to the certified passive office building that Vollack completed in 2016. Constructed to the BEG 40 standard, the extension meets high requirements for energy performance. Once again, an ice latent heat storage system was incorporated, helping to ensure that the building operates largely independently of the existing structure from an energy perspective.
The modern workplace provides office space for 80 additional employees as well as meeting and project rooms, technical areas, and several kitchenettes. In addition to serving employees' daily needs, these spaces function as hubs for communication and collaboration.
A harmonious whole.
The design concept established in the first construction phase was consistently carried forward. The building exterior reprises the interplay of gray stucco surfaces and a suspended white façade cladding system. Inside, exposed concrete walls, seamlessly integrated wood-framed windows, and green acoustic panels create distinctive accents. Cubic functional units housing archive, technical, and service areas add variety to the office layout.
A tall, spacious connecting area forms the transition between the existing building and the new extension. Its defining feature is an internal steel bridge that can be accessed from the second floor.
Room for creativity.
TUP began working with Vollack as early as 2016. With the new TUP Campus, certified as a passive house, the warehouse management solutions specialists gained not only an exceptional energy-performing building but also a modern working environment.
This project marked the first use of a seasonal ice latent heat storage system by Vollack. Serving as an intelligent storage medium for heating and cooling energy, it makes the building largely energy self-sufficient.
A benchmark project for passive house construction.
The TUP Campus has evolved into a benchmark project for passive house construction and continues to attract experts from Germany and abroad. Covering 3,600 square meters of usable floor space, the building features exposed concrete walls, seamlessly integrated wood-framed windows, and green acoustic panels that create distinctive design accents.
Functional cubes housing archive, technical, and service areas add variety to the individual office layout, while a centrally located cafeteria serves as the communicative heart of the building.
We are proud to have created a particularly environmentally friendly workplace that looks to the future. This building is not simply an office complex; it is our creative home base and will continue to be so for generations to come.

Managing Directors of the software company TUP
