Marieninsel, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

A building complex was newly created for the Marieninsel in one of the most prominent locations at the heart of the banking district of Frankfurt/Main. It consists of the 40-storey office tower Marienturm and the office and retail buildings of Marienforum, which thanks to its own public square becomes a sheltered center of attraction. With its lean shape of two slender slabs of different heights the high-rise tower cuts a fine figure on its own - its characteristic bronze-coloured façade further complements the Frankfurt skyline. The U.S. Green Building Council honors the development Marieninsel with the highest award for sustainable buildings: the LEED Platinum certification.
