"Temporary Living"
In the modern Elisapart apartment building in Potsdam, TECEprofil with integrated hygienic flushing ensures the automated operation of the drinking water system.
The Brandenburg region surrounding the state capital of Potsdam has been one of Germany's hotspots for immigration for several years. Available living space is correspondingly sought after. This is precisely where the Elisapart apartment building comes in. With 73 fully furnished, high-quality rooms ranging in size from micro-apartments to business apartment suites, the new building at the Summer Palace represents an attractive alternative to hotels. Especially in the greater Berlin/Potsdam area, temporary living for work-related reasons is becoming increasingly popular.
Promising Solution for a Historic Location
The HemprichTophof architectural firm played with historical influences and the unique central location when planning the new complex. Inspiration from the local Brick Expressionism of the 1920s is incorporated into the facade. The strikingly shaped exterior structure, accentuated by natural stone elements around the windows, gives the new building its own character.
TECEprofil modules ensure flexibility
Just as the exterior appearance bridges the gap to history, the interiors, including the bathroom, are equally modern. The designers opted for the TECEprofil series washbasin modules and toilet modules with hygienic cisterns.
The drywall system, specially developed for wall-mounted installations, consisting of a supporting structure and matching sanitary modules, offers considerable design freedom. Pipes can be concealed within the wall-mounted installations, and all the installation technology finds its place. Only the simple, elegant flush plates from the TECEloop series, with their combination of glass and white, remain visible. The toilet module and flush plates can be freely combined in the TECE range and installed in just a few steps without the need for tools.
Automatic hygiene flush ensures drinking water quality
Using the toilet module with integrated hygiene flush is ideal for a reference project like the Elisapart apartment building with its 73 rooms. In facilities of this size, rooms and sanitary facilities may not be used regularly for extended periods.

In such cases, TECEprofil toilet modules with an integrated flushing unit ensure automated operation of the drinking water system. Stagnation in the pipes is avoided, and microorganisms cannot multiply in the first place because the water in the pipe network is regularly and automatically replaced. Since the electronic hygiene flush is integrated into the cistern, the toilet module can be installed directly. This also saves time and money during the construction phase, as no additional components are usually required. All components are preconfigured at the factory. The compact system operates completely independently and can be configured and adapted to specific requirements via an app.
The TECEloop flush plate incorporates rounded shapes.
The living and bathroom spaces welcome residents with a subtle, understated color scheme and coordinated shapes that provide a unifying element to the interior. The round shape of the table is continued by a large, circular mirror and finds its detailed conclusion in the TECEloop flush plate in glass and white. By choosing a glass version, the classically elegant design blends almost weightlessly into the bathroom.
