The 39-story office tower at Taunusanlage 1 stands at a central location in Frankfurt. The 154 m tall building occupies a 1,140 sqm footprint and has a façade area of around 22,000 sqm.
Scope of Work
The ground floor features a 8 m tall, double-height lobby façade surmounted by 38 office storeys each enclosed by 102 cladding units. The rooftop plantroom level with its shadow box façade is enclosed at the top by a grillage as the fifth façade. Every second window unit in the office façade is provided with a specially designed storey-height 1.40 x 2.90 m horizontal parallel moving out window, which, depending on wind velocity, can be continuously opened to a maximum travel of 175 mm. Moreover, heating strip incorporated in the openable windows allows warming of the inflowing air.
