Gloria Tower Frankfurt

Gloria Tower Frankfurt

The Gloria High-Rise project creates a new, contextual addition to the skyline of Frankfurt’s banking district. MVRDV’s competition proposal incorporates a plinth of historical buildings, cantilevers outwards into an elegantly segmented tower of four vertical volumes, and culminates in a sculpted crown of rooftop terraces at a height of 195 metres. As such, the design provides a cross-section of the district’s architectural history, from the neoclassical Commerzbank building of 1905 to the climate responsive, low-energy skyscrapers that should characterise the rest of 21st Century.
