Colorium
The Colorium is a 17-storey high-rise on Speditionstraße in the Medienhafen of the city of Düsseldorf . It was designed by the British architect William Allen Alsop for Ibing Immobilien GmbH . The completion took place in December 2001.
layout
Outstanding unique selling points in the architecture at the Medienhafen are the colorful facade and the red technical floor, which, at 62 meters, crowns what is currently the second-highest building in the port. Over 2,200 color-printed glass panels made of heat protection insulating glass were installed according to a precise design specification by the architects and, in combination with an internal sun protection, form the curtain wall . When dividing the colored areas, full-area colored areas alternate with patterns of up to four colors. The color scheme continues inside the building.
use
The Colorium was converted into a hotel in 2013. Since then, it has had 134 rooms on an area of around 8,000 m², of which 58 are single and 76 are double rooms.
