With their design for an office building on Europa-Allee, Eike Becker_Architekten won an international competition awarded by the city of Frankfurt. The aim was to create a building that would refer both to the Praedium residential tower across the street and to the Europa-Allee boulevard and surrounding Europapark district. This high-rise office building consists of two slender discs which are turned out of the axis and shifted against one another and provide a stylistic nod to the Praedium's lively design language. One half of the building points eastwards towards the skyscraper silhouette through the cantilever in the upper part, and the other faces west towards the Europagarten, thus symbolically connecting East and West. The building,... More

With their design for a residential tower at Theodor-Loos-Weg in Gropiusstadt, Eike Becker_Architekten won first prize at a competition tendered by the Beamten-Wohnungs-Verein zu Berlin eG cooperative, marking the office's first cooperative project.

The new tower will offer concierge services as well as designated areas for community events. A generous foyer will provide a commu... More

The basic strategy in the design of the building led to the minimisation of the volume and lightening of the object. The building mass was divided into a pair of towers. Both towers are connected by a neck at two-thirds height. From this height level, the towers continue separately whereby\ each of them has a separate vertical axis, composition and identity. The towers mutually draw apart and attract each other. The male and female principle. Tension is generated between the towers - dialogue. The mass expanding upwards is usually the most lucrative space and the narrowing downwards minimises the ground appropriation and releases space for trees and the pedestrian partere, which freely runs under the building. This recessing moreover creat... More
