HUB RE:construction

Innovations, ideas and creativity need physical space!

In the beginning of 2024 Mykolaiv Water Hub has selected the municipal building in Mykolaiv that will be renovated using the most innovative water and energy technologies.

The project planning and implementation itself is already a showcase. Ukrainian and German architects are uniting their skills and passion to turn old building dated 1850 into an example of sustainable, innovative reconstruction.

The building shall provide space for co-working, conference room and water laboratory. The garden behind will be used as a demonstration plot for rainwater harvesting technologies.

Our goal

RE:Building and Innovations

The primary goal is to develop an architectural project that emphasizes energy independence and the sustainable use of water. A strong focus was placed on preserving the historical identity of the building by incorporating local limestone and maintaining its architectural character.

The project is envisioned as a pilot initiative that can be quickly and efficiently implemented, serving as a model for further expansions and setting an example for similar future projects. Particular attention is given to ensuring accessibility for different user groups and designing the site layout with a focus on rainwater drainage.

This is aligning with the city’s broader rainwater management strategy and is integrated with the future pedestrian street planned in front of the site.
