Abstract

The landmark 160 m high office tower in Bonn, the former capital city of Germany on the River Rhine, accommodates more than 2000 members of staff. The oval tower’s fagade is clad in high-tech transparent glazing and transparent materials are also used throughout interiors: glazed partitions, glazed staircases and glazed connecting bridges are central elements of the interior design concept. A fire safety glass with a particularly slender profile was selected for the project. Space, form, construction and materials are carefully coordinated, resulting in a harmonious overall concept.
