Details
Sonnendorf combines natural living with a lively sense of community. The communal public space promotes interaction and strengthens the relationship with nature, the village centre, and neighborus. Different types of housing (terraced houses, semi-detached houses, multi-storey and barrier-free apartments) offer a variety of living arrangements that is unusual for villages. This creates an atmosphere of cohesion and mutual support that counteracts loneliness. The sustainable houses with timber construction, geothermal energy, controlled ventilation, and PV modules are zero-energy houses.
