| Volta Center, City West |
|
The Volta Center - right in the heart of the City West
district development - is situated between Voltastrasse to
the north and Franklinstraße to the south. It is an office
and apartment complex with highgrade appointments
and a threelevel underground garage. It consists of four
buildings: the residential block with 60 apartments and
three office buildings.
|
|
The main entrances to the office buildings with their
two-storey foyers are on Franklinstraße. Inside, the Volta
Center conveys a parklike atmosphere, with impressive open
areas of green and water. Forming the centre of the public
space is a water cascade with underwater lighting, bridges
and wooden decks. A varied facade with offset balconies
and a curtaintype glass shield facing onto Voltastraße
contrasts with the more austere, horizontally structured
cubes of the eightstorey office building. The two-storey
base is clad in homogeneous grey natural stone.
