Casa Nova Planungs- und Wohnbaugesellschaft mbH

What Casa Nova Planungs- und Wohnbaugesellschaft mbH does

Casa Nova Planungs- und Wohnbaugesellschaft mbH is a privately held German Bauträger and architecture firm headquartered in Ulm, founded in 1989 by Otmar Hirschmann and Heinz Neudeck-Mützel as pioneers of passive house construction. The firm designs, plans, and constructs energy-efficient residential real estate across the Ulm-Neu-Ulm region of Baden-Württemberg and Swabian Bavaria, including custom architect-designed single-family homes (Architektenhaus), the standardized Modul C configurable house product, multi-family condominiums (Eigentumswohnungen) under development in Laupheim, Ulm-Jungingen, Blaustein-Herrlingen, Langenau, and Senden, and used-property brokerage (Gebrauchtimmobilien). Core technical competencies center on Passivhaus standards, KfW Effizienzhaus 40/40 EE certification, Plus-Energie-Haus configurations, triple glazing, heat recovery ventilation, heat pump integration, photovoltaic compatibility, and smart home controls.

The firm operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer model with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries. Revenue streams combine one-time property sales from developer projects, fixed-price custom architectural contracts, transaction-fee resale brokerage, and professional services for property investors. Pricing is unit-based: apartments range from ~€400K (small units in Laupheim) to €886K+ (semi-detached houses in Senden), with individually priced exclusive units (e.g., Blautalblick) and custom architect homes offered at individually negotiated fixed prices. Marketing relies on the company website, local SEO, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), on-site show homes, and customer referrals. Current leadership consists of three managing directors (Geschäftsleitung): Tobias Bosch, Rolf Loser, and Bruno Baumeister, who succeeded the founders. The firm claims more than 300 lifetime clients and over 100 completed Passivhaus projects, and is supervised by IHK Karlsruhe under § 34c GewO.

Direct peers
