Office-Building Mittelhafen, Münster by KSP Engel
The six-story new building for Ärzteversorgung Westfalen-Lippe blends in with the surrounding harbor buildings thanks to its materiality and striking shape.
The silhouette corresponds to a modern interpretation of typical warehouse buildings. Roof terraces with a view of the harbor backdrop are created by staggering the six-story structure by one or two stories on the long sides.
The façade of rough, reddish-brown clinker bricks references materials typical of the harbor. Vertical clinker pilaster strips and a horizontal structure created by fine cornices characterize the façade design.
The main entrance on the east side faces the campus-like outdoor area and is highlighted by a two-story colonnade.
A special feature inside is the large atrium, which extends over the entire height of the building. Informal meeting places are grouped as open meeting areas on each floor around the atrium.
