Sparda-Carré Bonn

OFFICE, BUSINESS

The architecture of this office concept, which we developed for the Sparda-Bank in Bonn, exudes transparency and confidentiality. With its geometry and its arcade design, the Sparda-Carré emphasises its special corner position without compromising on the dimensions of its four-to-five-storey structure. The clear, streamlined design of the new building seamlessly merges with the eaves and ridges of its neighbours.
Accentuated ceiling panels horizontally divide its façade, which has a meandrous pattern and intersecting geometric elements. This reveals the various functional areas and presents the structural shell of the building as a co herent unit. The flush façade is made of large, alternating glass and aluminium panels.

Its design emphasizes the sculptural effect of the building and creates a calm antithesis to the buildings surrounding it. As a visual highlight, the Sparda-Carré features a flush-mounted media façade on the third floor: its LED screens broadcast digital art to the public sphere.
The design is inspired by the interplay of transparency and confidentiality, open and private areas. It intends to convey spatial generosity to clients of the bank. The void of the building widens with every floor, introducing the feeling of openness to this modern, communicative dialogue bank. Customers perceive the connected floors as one single space. The consultancy floors are visible, but viewers are always kept at a discreet distance.
