The SKYGARDEN project is a sculptural office building which has an unmistakable presence along the skyline of the city, standing out with its multiple building structures of varying heights. The project is divided into three building sections: one 12-storey tower to the east, one 5-storey building section in the centre and three “battlement” style buildings to the west, each 7 storeys high. The inside and outside areas of the newbuild are connected via inner courtyards, atriums and covered galleries, which create exciting spatial scenarios through alternating closed and open architecture. The main features of the complex include the vast expanses of glass in the conservatories and the 18-metre high, glazed entrance hall, as well as the strong vertical emphasis of the façade created by large aluminium profiles. The Schüco special construction for the vertical façade units envelops the multiple storeys of the building. The resulting striped pattern connects the different buildings together stylistically and lends it its unmistakable character. The conservatories with their expansive glass façades can be seen from far away and form part of the energy concept. For the adjacent offices, 30 % less energy is required for heating. The SKYGARDEN also obtains a third of its required energy from regenerative sources – ground water is used to cool the building and the offices are heated and cooled via building core activation with a heat exchanger.
