Parish assistant's house renovation Bremgarten

The late Gothic building probably served as a chaplaincy for the Bullingerpfründe and became a parish assistant's house after the recatholisation in 1531. The building, which is now a listed building, has been renovated several times over the centuries – most recently in 1990. Following the conversion and energy-efficient renovation in 2016, the historic building continues to be used for residential purposes. A studio was created on the ground floor, which could also be used as a one-room flat with a small kitchen and bathroom. A 2.5-room flat was created on the first floor and a 4.5-room maisonette flat on the second floor. In addition, a basement extension with a new archive for the parish was built.

Apartment building ‘Cité Tony Garnier’ interior insulation Lyon (France)

The 23 apartment buildings of the Cité Tony Garnier are located in Lyon, and each building is decorated with an individual mural featuring artistic representations.

In order to preserve the cultural heritage, the interior insulation was carried out using Fixit 222 Aerogel. The painted walls were restored and in some cases completely renewed, creating a unique open-air museum.

Residential home ‘Wyssestei’ internal insulation Solothurn

At the Wyssenstei residential home, residents spend most of their day in their living quarters, which means that the humidity in these rooms is generally high. The rooms were originally fitted with a vapour-proof system, which led to mould forming behind chests of drawers, shelves and cupboards. The application of Fixit 222 aerogel high-performance insulating plaster in a layer thickness of 3 cm created a vapour-permeable indoor climate. The system structure absorbs the humidity and releases it back into the room air in controlled doses. This prevents mould from forming.

The former Hotel Meyerhof was converted into an apartment building in 2021 after standing empty for over 30 years. The energy-efficient renovation was carried out using Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster with a layer thickness of 6–8 cm. To do this, the existing plaster was removed down to the quarry stone masonry and the insulating plaster was sprayed on by machine. The large, white façade surfaces were coated twice with Fixit 777 fine plaster with a grain size of 0.5 mm.
