Porsche Design Tower
The challenge of the task is to combine the demand for an iconographic appearance of the PDT with the best possible housing quality and high economic standards.
Nowhere else in Germany is the disposition of the high-rises comparable to Frankfurt am Main:
on the one hand solitaires with a unique selling point, on the other hand high-rise buildÃngs with their effect in the ensemble and in the urban silhouette. Together with the office and hotel complex to be realized in Block 41 A, the PDT forms the gateway to the newly constructed Europa-Viertel and is also one of four cornerstones of the quarter around Europa-Allee.
Residential towers are rare: their iconography should not correspond to the phallic habitus of the "office towers" of large companies, but should convince the owners of expensive apartments in terms of design and quality of use. For this reason alone, we opted for a concept of shifted "stacked boxes". They create a recognizable zoning and address formation and have a unique selling point in Frankfurt for the time being.
