The first project to be realised in the new
“Europacity” district located north of Berlin’s 8
Central Station – this 18-storey high-rise
draped in a highly articulated facade and visi-
ble from afar – sets the bar high for the devel-
opment that will follow. The dimensioning of
aa
the “Tour Total” allows for both daylighting
and natural ventilation of the office spaces.
The building’s orientation adheres to the
specifications of the site’s master plan. In or-
der to set up a subtle dialogue with the urban
7
context, the architects introduced a certain
dynamism by modulating the building mass-
ing and the facades. The slight folds in the 7
two longer facades make them appear less 7
7
extensive and underscore the dialogue with
the surrounding urban space. The rotation of 7
the building plinth responds to the geometry
of the street grid. The accompanying colon- 7
nade serves to further enmesh the building
with its surroundings. But the sculptural,
light-toned precast concrete units used in the
grid facade, whose appearance changes in
the eye of the beholder as he or she moves
around the building, play the most important
role in establishing the building’s identity. They a
emphasise the structure’s verticality and give
it a lively, shimmering effect. This multi-facet- 4

ed layer was playfully superimposed upon
the grid, not by employing modules of differ- 1 2 a 4
ent sizes or making changes to the grid, but 3
simply by means of slight variations, such as 5 4

rotating or mirroring the asymmetrical basic
module. The architects developed the T- 2 5
shaped, 7.35-metre-high prefabricated units – 6

each unit spanning two storeys – in order to a
make it possible to articiulate both the vertical 6
pilaster strips and the horizontal ribbons of a
parapets. The building has received DGNB’s
Silver Certification thanks to the well-balanced a

Alle Elemente für die etwa 10 000 m² Fassadenfläche
wurden im Fertigteilwerk in etwa 200 präzise hand
gefertigten Formen gefertigt. Die Montage erfolgte
jeweils über Aufstecken des Elementfußes auf Fixie-
rungszapfen des darunterliegenden Elements und
Rückverhängung an einem justierbaren Schrägzug-
anker am oberen Ende. Zur Vermeidug von Schmutz-
läufern sind die Oberkanten der Brüstungsbänder
nach hinen geneigt und führen das Wasser rückseitig
ab.

All of the modules for the 10000 m2 facade surface
3
were produced in a prefabrication plant, employing
about 200 high-precision, hand-made forms. The
modules were installed by positioning the lower end
on a connection pin of the module below and then 5
securing it to an adjustable inclined tie-rod on the
upper end. To forestall soiling, the upper edges of the 6
parapets are slanted toward the back and guide the
water to the rear.
