Tim Dressler, the architect responsible from architectural practice Jonek+Dressler, describes the building as a large urban development and architectural prelude to the Lenkwerk district. It is not only the exceptional shape (seven-sided ground floor, six-sided storeys above) that makes the futuristic newbuild so eye-catching; the Schüco Facid textile façade that has been used makes it stand out visually and helps to save energy too. When the summer sun is high, the angle between the windows and the textile façade keeps the rays out, while allowing the rays of a low winter sun to pass through.
Even in the planning phase, the architectural practice was aiming for the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) certificate in Gold and made sure that the building was not only economically sustainable but also fulfilled the ecological, socio-cultural and technical aspects to a very high level. By defining sustainability targets at an early stage and exploiting the potential for optimisation while taking the entire life cycle into account, the building was consistently designed and constructed to conserve resources, using window, door, façade, and fire and smoke protection systems from Schüco, among others.
