Tower 24

 Back to Projects list
Location
Liebigstraße, 60385 Frankfurt, Germany
Year
2002

A striking pair: one white, the other anthracite-coloured. The towers are hooked together, engaging in a formal dialogue: light and dark, solid and filigree, dissolving upwards. Their figure offers different images, depending on where you approach them from. The towers consist of two solid-coloured concrete structures, with glass elements that differ both in terms of size and the depth of the reveal. The grid formed by the white concrete elements is twice as large as the anthracite-coloured grid. The structure of the glass elements changes from below to above. On the lower floors the glazing is recessed in the concrete frame, as you look up the building you notice that these areas of glass gradually step outwards, until, from a height of 60 m up, they sit flush with the outside of the frame.
