Company Headquarters Tower in Essen
The requirements of the brief for an energy-saving design are reflected in the form and construction of this tower block. In terms of the ratio between the area of the outer skin and the volume, as well as aspects such as wind pressure, heat losses, structural costs and daylighting, the cylindrical shape represents an optimal form. Despite the continuous glazed skin, the different uses - entrance hall, office storeys, service floors and roof garden - remain legible.
