Article: “Diese Studenten bauen ihr eigenes Wohnheim”
Release date: September 2017
Author: Peter Krauch
Publisher: Süddeutsche Verlag
Excerpt: “Since 2013, the group has pursued a highly idealistic goal: a student dorm in its own right. This should be direct & democratic, both in terms of planning and in operation. I should interact with the residents and improve the student world too. In Heidelberg, as in many student cities, the situation on the housing market is extremely tense – according to estimates by the State Statistical Office, 11.000 apartments in the city are missing by 2030 – so actually a good idea. But is that realisable?”

Title: “Minihaus als Nachverdichtung in Frankfurt am Main”
Release date: April 2011
Author: Michaela Boguhn
Publisher: BauNetz Media GmbH
Editor: Jürgen Paul
Excerpt: “The existing infrastructure, social and cultural institutions and the short travel distances make it attractive to live in the city center. However, the dream of owning a home can apparently only be realised on the outskirts of the city. Inner city building plots are rare on the market and often present difficult conditions. But even on an area of 29 square meters, a fully adequate house can be planned, as the office Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architektur in Frankfurt/Main shows with its Minihouse.”

Article: “Frankfurt Maßgeschneidert – Das Nachhaltigste”
Release date: March 2010
Author: Adeline Seidel
Publisher: Müller + Busmann KG Verlag
Excerpt: “The “Minimum Impact House” is a prototype for sustainable and energy-efficient living in the city. The building is the result of a research project by the architectural office Drexler Guinand Jauslin and the Chair of Design and Energy Efficiency of the Department of Architecture of the TU Darmstadt by Manfred Hegger. “The careful use of resources is a central aspect of sustainability. This applies both to the use of residual urban space and to the choice of materials and the energy efficiency of the building,” says builder and architect Hans Drexler. The use of existing urban infrastructures by densification not only reduces the urban sprawl, but also reduces traffic and stabilises the city’s economic and social structure.”
