STRASSENHAUS Building Concept

The ELCITY building concept combines buildings and infrastructure systems (such as road systems and supply and disposal systems) on very little space within one building.

The most advanced sound insulation, vibration protection, fire protection and thermal insulation technologies allow a new modular building construction with unical design.

The buildings can be simple modules of a house with street and line channel as well as more complicated building complexes such as traffic junctions, connecting terminals, airports, railway stations, shopping malls, sports arenas etc.

The modular overall structure which consists of compatible building modules is suitable to form economically efficient and ecologically valuable city structures. This requires city development strategies and logistic systems for building constellations and classes of traffic on several levels.

The STRASSENHAUS building concept is based on different units, the modules. Each module is a separate structure. The modules are all compatible via the interface road with line channel. They can be combined to form a complex or system depending on the given urban situation and the structural requirements.

Generally, there are two groups of modules: Simple basic modules and their combinations and complex building modules.

Basic modules include:

• Base module (SH 1)

• Gate house (SH 3)

• Bridge / elevated road (SH 4)

• Entrance and exit ramp (SH 5)

• Branching (SH 6)

• Junction (SH 7)

• Service emergency stop module (SH 8)

STRASSENHAUS modules can be integrated into complex buildings. In the scope of this process the connection conditions of the elevated transport lane and the line channel have to be taken into account. Such complex buildings include railway stations, connecting stations, airports, multi-story car parks, supermarkets, hotels etc. These multifunctional buildings then form a common structure with STRASSENHAUS or they are connected with STRASSENHAUS.
