Office Building Brockmann

The property is located in a commercial area on the outskirts of the district Frankfurt Heddernheim. The structure relates to the adjacent buildings and an old nut tree in the south of the plot. The appropriate distance of the house towards the street and the preservation of the large tree create an extensive and inviting entrance area.

The structure consists of two basement stories, two upper floors and an attic. The parking garage, the plant room, numerous archives, and further adjoining rooms, such as a social room that is being used as an exterior terrace due to its oversized light well for natural lighting, are located in the basement. The social room is very popular during the hot summer months among the employees, as it provides pleasant temperatures in the shadow of the maple tree.

The individual floors can be accessed through a centrally arranged core zone that takes in a fifth of the building’s depth and its entire width.

The main and first floor each feature two 110 square meter big offices facing the south respectively the north. The attic, which is not regarded as a full floor according to building regulations, accommodates two single offices for the business associates. One of these offices is entirely enclosed, while the other one opens up towards the tree.

In the rather dim center of the office rooms, compact racking systems were incorporated, which provide storage space for the large demand of office materials of the survey company, which is now chaired in its fourth generation.

On three sides, the house is cladded with metal panels. The facade facing the south is fully glazed. It opens up the structure towards the street and highlights the beautiful nut tree. Metal slats in front of the facade protect the rooms oriented towards the south from direct sunlight. On the eastern and western facade, flush-mounted fabric blinds are integrated in the embrasures for an adequate solar protection.
