Nassauische Heimstätte

Frankfurt am Main, 1996 - 1999
Office/administration buildings

In spring 1996 the Nassauische Heimstätte decided to modernize their headquarters at 47 Schaumainkai in Frankfurt.

This beautiful building, dating back to the 50’s, is characterized by an principally glazed façade and interior. Its fine lines reflect the notion of elegance so representative of the 50’s. The sweeping staircase, generous and subtly structured façade and the graceful canopy make of it a remarkable building of its time and well worth preserving.

The design strategy was to underline those qualities and to adapt the building to modern technical standards whilst maintaining the original aesthetic. This process resulted in an exciting dialogue between the design ideals from the economic miracle era and their re-interpretation 40 years later.
