The Opernturm in Frankfurt am Main stands at approximately 170 meters and is a key feature of the city’s skyline. The building is divided into four slender towers by vertical notches, connected by a bridge at the top. A lower perimeter block anchors the complex, with distinct entrances enhancing its urban presence.
The prestigious main entrance features a reception hall with a large illuminated ceiling, perfect for displaying art objects. The open plaza at the core of the complex harmonizes art and daylight. Illuminating the ensemble in the Frankfurt skyline at night was a challenge, but the block facing Opernplatz respects the historical context while creating a striking distant view.
