Atricom Office Building, Frankfurt am Main

When the Atricom office building was inaugurated in 1990, it was considered something special in the Niederrad business district, since it was not just another purely functional, unadorned high-rise. The architects, Ernst Sieverts, Dieter Schapitz and Dieter Reichel, had – in the spirit of the eighties – designed a building in which work should be fun.

Imagination – Precision – Mobility
The building consists of three x-shaped structures and has a strikingly large, glazed entrance hall, which is 50 metres in height and planted with greenery. A huge, dynamic sculpture, 22 metres tall, created by film designer Rolf Zehetbauer, fills the hall. The mosaic trees symbolise the terms “imagination – precision – mobility”. Six express elevators shoot up and down the walls of the hall, serving the eleven floors of the office building – a spectacle that can be followed from the cafeteria below.

In the spirit of the original architectural design, the Atricom office building has been given a new, modern branding. The ground floor with its imposing entrance hall, and the basement, which is naturally lit by the generously proportioned rotunda, have been carefully renovated in a modern style and in accordance with monument conservation criteria. The fire protection and technical systems have also been extensively renewed.
