“We continue to pursue a strategy of developing and owning premier properties in world-class cities, and this project is a perfect example of that strategy in action. Omniturm underscores our confidence in the long-term strength of the German market and the opportunities to develop innovative and unique mixed-use projects that genuinely enhance the country’s urban landscape.”Rob Speyer - CEO, Tishman Speyer
Basic Massing — The massing is first organized into a basic volume. The tower is placed inside the permitted building outline to optimize distances from the surrounding buildings. The program is then distributed and divided according to the brief.
Series of Terraces — The tower is "twisted" at the central residential floors to create a series of terraces for housing units - cantilevering from the main body. The remaining floors above are pushed north, to return to the original orientation, completing the spiral movement while maximizing sunlight exposure.
Shifted Public Spaces — The public program is shifted to the west, creating terraces and canopies facing the park, while the plates below are shifted eastward to accommodate an arcade on Neue Mainzer Straße.
Views — Residential floor plates move in two directions, creating generous outdoor space while taking advantage of expansive views in an otherwise dense city fabric.
Layered Green Spaces — Terraces at each level will host different types of outdoor areas, creating a direct connection with the new park at different heights.
