The project for offices lies within an industrial complex in the Ruhr valley. We proposed a building which embeds itself in a cautious manner within its immediate surroundings by revaluing the latter.
The implementation of alternating halfstoreys facilitates communication within the different teams. The generous glazing on two sides of the building displays a sun protection system with tightened textiles. The consumption of energy is optimized through a well isolated building envelope and the translucent textiles absorbing the intrusion of direct sunlight.
