The office complex, which is comprised of two building parts, was designed in the 1950ies by the architect Holtgreve and later modernised and newly interpreted by A. Axthelm. In addition to this, the outside facilities were integrated into the building by a system of opposed ramps and folds that hold a scheme for letterboxes and illuminated spotlights. The interior was designed to fit up to date office sizes with modern WC facilities that optimised the later letting process.
