Text description provided by the architects. The proposed office building on Plot 10 in Cologne’s historic Rheinauhafen harbour district occupies a prime waterfront position, situated between two fifteen-storey ‘crane house’ office towers. The building’s distinctive stepped elevation is designed to create a strongly sculptural presence while responding to the views across the harbour. In addition, all plant is accommodated within the building’s upper floor, freeing up the rooftop to become a fifth elevation which is directly overlooked by the adjacent towers.
