Office and Commercial Building

The staggering of the floors on the narrow sides takes account of different sizes and lighting needs of the neighboring buildings, improves the visual connection between enclosing streets and gives the building its unique shape. Inside, the building is informed by the lobby with its multi-storey air spaces as the communicative center.

Due to their structural openness, the adjoining usable floor spaces are neutral in respect to usage and hence may be individually designed. The facade structure qualifies the building a contemporary descendant of the neighboring Baroque houses. As “urban shelves”, it turns the variety of its interior life to the outside to achieve the detailed facade articulation that is needed to contribute to a lively streetscape.
