This flat-roofed form is considered to be modest and sophisticated and brings together the new premises and the Grossmarkthalle. The “European envelope” will consist of a glass roof and façade that will cover the Grossmarkthalle and low-rise office buildings; the new premises contrast with the skyscrapers of Frankfurt’s financial district. The landscape concept will allow many connections between external and internal spaces while opening up towards the river. The concept revolves around a transparency with “no barriers between the inside and outside”.
