这座四层楼高的建筑位于“Neuer Tivoli”足球场旁边的一条主要道路上。写字楼以其宁静的、梯形的形状，对周围地区色彩和建筑形状的多样性作出了反应；它的中轴线与体育场的中轴线对齐。对面的长方形边缘是一个小的树木地区，提供了一个愉快的方面，通过慷慨的玻璃外墙。通过将建筑物从邻近的体育场向前移动，它变得足够突出，可以在繁忙道路上的地址上被识别出来。

The four-storey building is located along a major road right next to the “Neuer Tivoli” football stadium. With its tranquil, trapeze-shaped form the office building responds to the neighbourhood‘s diversity of colours and building shapes; its central axis is aligned with the central axis of the stadium. Opposite the long edge of the trapeze is a small wooded area which provides a pleasant aspect through the generously glazed façades. By moving the building forward from the adjacent stadium, it becomes prominent enough to be recognised at its address along the busy road.

由白漆铝制成的水平太阳能屏蔽百叶窗和正面表带有助于营造和谐的整体外观：它们强调建筑的基本形状，并提供宁静的外观，同时也突显了建筑的可辨性。在太阳屏蔽后是大的玻璃区域，这提供了外部的看法，也允许充足的日光。在内部，白色外墙带继续在画廊的外观和白色油漆完成是重复的所有内部钢组件。与此形成鲜明对比的是办公室里的深色地毯和公共场所的深色天然石头。

The horizontal solar screening louvres and façade bands made of white-painted aluminium contribute to a harmonious overall appearance: they emphasise the basic shape of the building and provide a tranquil exterior while underscoring its recognisability. Behind the solar screening are large glazed areas which provide views to the outside and also admit sufficient daylight. On the inside, the white façade bands continue at the gallery façade and the white paint finish is repeated on all interior steel components. This is contrasted by dark fitted carpets in the offices and dark natural stone in the public areas.

新办公楼的室内设计突出了公司的网络结构：一楼及其咖啡厅、礼堂和图书馆大多供公众使用，而上面的楼层则由可灵活划分的办公区域组成。这些区域集中在一个中央中庭周围，除了有玻璃的办公室隔间外，还提供了跨越几个层次的远景。但是，办公室的中心定位不仅在员工之间建立了视觉联系-有几个楼梯和天桥，确保了各部门之间的短距离。带有厨房的交流和休闲区以及“智囊团”和会议设施以网络的形式分布在整个大楼，从而促进正式和非正式的交流。一座800平方米的大型交易大厅构成了这座建筑的心脏，每天24小时进行电力和天然气交易。

The interior design of the new office building underscores the network structure of the company: while the ground floor with its cafés, auditorium and a library is mostly used by the public, the floors above consist of flexibly divisible office areas. These areas are grouped around a central atrium which, in addition to the glazed office partitions, provides vistas across several levels. But the central orientation of the offices not only creates a visual connection between staff - there are several stairs and catwalks that ensure short distances between the departments. Communication and relaxation areas with kitchenettes, as well as ‘think tank’ and conference facilities are distributed across the building in the form of a network and thus promote both formal and informal communication. An 800 square metre large trading floor forms the heart of the building where electricity and gas is traded 24 hours a day.
