GERMAN STOCK EXCHANGE - FRANKFURT
This is one of the most energy-efficient and resource-saving office buildings in Germany. The project developer aimed 30% below the energy saving regulation at the definition of a low-energy building. The building has since been certified according to the US environmental standard for sustainable construction "LEED Platinum“.
“Deutsche Börse Eschborn was the first high-rise building in Germany to receive Platinum certification from the U.S. LEED sustainability standard. As the best rating in the system, Platinum is achieved by only five percent of all LEED-certified buildings.”
The project involved the construction of a high-rise office building designed by architects KSP Engel und Zimmermann with 20 upper floors, 3 basement floors and a first floor with a greater floor height.
The building is composed of two L-shaped parts, which enclose an atrium and form a total floor area of approx. 63 m x 63 m. A separate parking pallet and a parking garage with 8 above-ground floors for approx. 317 parking spaces has been added.
The architecture is characterized by reinforced concrete columns, at the inner atrium facades and suspended bay-like meeting boxes as well as suspended floor connecting staircases. All floors offer dividing options into units of use of less than 400 m².
