Kö-Bogen II: Europe's largest Green Facade in #Düsseldorf, #Germany by Ingenhoven Architects

The KII commercial and office building ensemble constitutes an outstanding redefinition of the heart of Düsseldorf and serves the function of a link between the exclusive Königs-Allee and the Schadow-Strasse shopping precinct. CENTRUM Group, B&L Group and ingenhoven architects have dissolved the uniformity of classical commercial buildings and here made the implementation of modern shopping and office concepts possible. Moreover they have been able to prove that highest architectonic demands and the application of first class materials can be harmonised with the benefits for climate and environment. This vision is already reality today and sets a new standard for the development of mixed-use buildings, combining ecology, economy, innovation and sustainability, beyond Düsseldorf and Germany. This excellently achieved urbane city repair includes the inseparable greening concept, as well as the location of the car parking underground, in order to recover attractive open space for people. KII is an aesthetic and functional lighthouse project for improvement of inner-city living, working, and recreational quality.
