Eclipse Düsseldorf, Germany

Landmark in the north of Dusseldorf

The Kennedydamm is characterised by solitaire properties set in green. The existing open urban development plan enables more freedom of expression in building design. This is reflected by the triangular shape at overall design level and by the scale-like framing of the boxed windows on a human level. The loggia-like atria extending over several storeys, each thematically distinct, are places for encounter and spaces to enable thoughts to run free and enter a dialogue with the immediate and more distant environment.

Communicative and concentrated

Agile working is stimulated by the variety of spatial and interior design options available. Individual workplaces in cubicle offices alternate with larger, open-plan areas and designated spaces for communication. Places in which corporate culture can develop and flourish. And all this with ample flexibility, and above all reversibility, because the pace of change for working environments will be faster in the future than it has been in the past.

Smart and sustainable

As architects, we have a greater responsibility than ever before to design our buildings not only to be visually appealing, but also to be better for humans and the environment. Thus, sensors are taking over many of the functions that have up to now often proved a weak point for users. Daylight and artificial light, as well as air conditioning are presence-controlled and an intelligent parking system ensures efficient use of parking spaces – to name just a few examples. Enough charging stations for electric vehicles and an easily accessible covered bike park for 200 cycles on the premises ensure that the mobility of the future has already been considered in the present.
