Description of project by Behet Bondzio Lin architekten
The design concept of the building for the Association of the Northwest German Textile and Garment Industry aims to provide all employees with a view of the picturesque landscape to the north and to welcome those arriving from the south with a strong textile image.
The elongated structure is enclosed on three sides by a completely closed brick façade. The volume, closed to the east, south and west and open to the north, is the basis for an energy-optimized office building.
The inspiration for the brick facade is the alabaster fold of the Beethoven statue by Max Klinger, which is in the Leipzig Picture Museum. Max Klinger created a paradoxical perception here. The viewer sees a seemingly fluent light scarf over the knees of Beethoven and recognizes at the same time that it consists of solid stone.

The separation and easy movement of the building volume creates a pre-area that receives the users and visitors and leads them into the building. To the north it opens almost completely over a glass facade to the exceptionally beautiful landscape. Due to the north orientation, all rooms are well supplied with daylight and do not require sun protection. This allows even in midsummer the full-time view of the employees in the countryside.
