FUNCTION:
Acoustic measures in the taproom
SIZE:
27 m²
CITY:
Mainburg
PROJECT INSIGHTS:
We successfully installed 27 m² of our hop panels in Hopsteiner's taproom. The panels were precisely fitted into the existing metal structure from above, so that the structure remains invisible from below and a homogeneous appearance is created. A total of 18 elements, each with six panels, were installed. The project is being scientifically monitored by master's student Christian Schmied, who is conducting a comprehensive investigation of the acoustic measures. The initial results of the measurements will be published shortly and will be incorporated into the further development of our panels.Designed as a full-scale demonstration of regenerative architecture, the Hop Pavilion showcases the potential of locally sourced biomaterials from the Munich brewing region. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, panels made from hop, brewer’s grains, and natural binders were developed and applied to a modular wooden structure. This project highlights the integration of agricultural by-products into innovative building components, reducing material waste and emissions. The result is a pavilion that merges design, sustainability, and circular material thinking — proving how local, bio-based resources can shape the future of construction in a low-impact, high-performance way.
