GAIA is constructed almost entirely from natural, recycled, local, and renewable materials. Their design prioritizes ecological integration not only during their use for viticulture but also beyond the lifespan of their structures. These buildings are designed to remain valuable habitats for wildlife even after their functional use ends, demonstrating a long-term vision for coexistence with the natural world.
More than a protective shell, the dry-stacked natural stone façade acts as a habitat in itself. Its layered structure offers shelter and microclimatic niches for insects, reptiles, and small mammals—extending the building’s ecological role beyond its functional use. Over time, the façade weathers and integrates further into the surrounding landscape, fostering biodiversity rather than displacing it.

- Prototype: Einfamilienhaus, Stendal
Einfamilienhaus-Haus is a WBS70 type of prefabricated housing. The existing building will be preserved as far as possible and will only be partly dismantled from above. The resulting roof areas will become gardens. Several smaller flats are combined into houses over two storeys each. All measures follow the constructive logic of the serial, joined slab building. Existing openings in the slabs, as well as all staircases, will be retained and only partially added to.
