The wood building (Holzbau) in Moosweg is an example of the interaction between technology, appearance, and sustainability. The BIPV system is perfectly integrated into the building's roof, which, with a broad overlap provides shade for the large southern-facing front windows in the summer and allows the passage of solar rays in the winter. The building won the Norman Foster Solar Award, Category B PlusEnergie Bauten, in 2020.

Built in an existing garden, the building integrates harmoniously with the surrounding buildings, which have a different look to them. The photovoltaic roofing is a distinctive aesthetic element of the building combined with the cladding of the larch wood structure.

The BIPV system integrated into the roof generates 21500 kWh of electricity per year. It generates an energy surplus of 15000 kWh (+329 %) since the building needs only 6500 kWh per year. (Norman Foster Foundation)

The glass-glass BIPV modules are installed directly on the wooden roof crossbeams, leaving a gap for rear ventilation.
