Little brother with its own personality.
Two separate buildings on a single base. Looking like a smaller brother of the Spiegel Building, the Ericus Contor with its total of 10 storeys is used as offices.
In the southern wing of the building, storeys 2 to 7 are completely absent. Thus the 12 metre wide construction in the 8th and 9th storeys freely spans the space between two building cores like a bridge for a length of c. 40 metres.
The ingenious steel construction method dispenses with special structural elements on the south-facing facade and thus permits an unobstructed view to the south across the new Lohsepark.
The six-storey opening in the building’s southern wing gives the building its impressive uniqueness. This – alongside additional roof gardens on the second storey – provides for exciting view axes and completely new vistas of its surroundings.
