The design proposal of the third prize-winner, 54f architekten+ingenieure/T. R. Hamzah & Yeang, was a discrete “cluster” of skyscrapers which integrated well into the skyline, reflecting the ECB’s values in a combination of lightness, transparency and elegance. The concept offered high-quality and flexible workplaces. Furthermore, this proposal emphasised the careful use of resources, as it adopted an environmentally friendly approach. The contoured landscape which interweaved between the buildings and the surrounding area integrated the design harmoniously into the existing urban fabric of Frankfurt’s Ostend.
