Greeen! Architects have been awarded an honorable mention for their Eco Towers, an office building in Hamburg, Germany for the Building and Environment Authorities. The office will accommodate 1400 people and will include several public areas as well as green gardens to “give room to nature and a create a green ambiance to all workers and visitors.”
More about the Eco Towers after the break.
As a highway and a frequently traveled road run along the southern edge of the project, the building’s façade prevents the impact of noise and heat against the east and south directions, while the panels also provide natural ventilation, views and sun protection. On the other side of the site, the façade is very transparent and open to provide “a nice, quiet and light urban space for the public.”
