Finanz Informatik, Frankfurt/Main

A special planning challenge was presented by the 6-storey glazed hall of what is today the Frankfurt headquarters of the Finanz Informatik. On the basis of a flow analysis, the IPJ engineering office developed a solution by means of which, year round, a very good indoor climate is being ensured and which, besides, has considerably reduced the heating costs.

The building of Finanz Informatik at the Theodor-Heuss-Allee in Frankfurt stands out for its harmonious ensemble consisting of four white and glazed cuboids. In the high rise and in the two office wings, outside flush casement windows and pure-white facade cladding make for an elegant envelope.

Another unusual issue arose with the glass elevator shaft of the skyscraper. Here, we were able to develop simple solutions, resulting in a pleasant comfort level inside the glass cabin, both during the summer and winter months.

Eine besondere planerische Herausforderung stellte die sechsgeschossige verglaste Halle der heutigen Frankfurter Zentrale der Finanz Informatik dar. Auf der Grundlage einer Strömungsanalyse entwickelte das Ingenieurbüro IPJ eine Lösung, die rund ums Jahr ein sehr gutes Raumklima sicherstellt und zudem die Heizkosten spürbar verringert hat.

Das Gebäude der Finanz Informatik an der Theodor-Heuss-Allee in Frankfurt fällt durch sein harmonisches Ensemble aus vier weißen und gläsernen Quadern auf. Im Hochhaus und in den zwei Büro-Riegel bilden außenbündige Kastenfenster und reinweiße Fassadenverkleidungen eine elegante Hülle.
