Project Narrative

Grosspeter Tower’s height and architecture makes it one of the city’s most striking buildings. Its shape comes from the concept of two interlocking volumes, which present themselves in a different form from every angle. The project provides mixed-use with offices and a hotel, according to the “core and shell” principle, a basic fit-out and a tenant fit-out. The very stringent quality requirements in the building’s overall concept also result in an excellent eco-efficient footprint. Photovoltaic urfaces are integrated into the facade and on the roof.
