Renovation former American Consulate

Frankfurt am Main, 2005 - 2007
Office/administration buildings, Listed buildings
Competition 1st prize

The charismatic “swing” of the 1950’s came back to life in the redevelopment of the American General Consulate, reviving its original charm. Originally designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1955, this Frankfurt building brought a breath of fresh air into the German architectural scene. Its newly developed curtain façade received widespread approval. This conversion is an example of the active preservation of an architectural monument whilst achieving an improved energy balance.
