Horten main administration building

The Horten main administration building is located at Am Seestern 3 in Düsseldorf-Lörick . It was built in 1960/1961 according to a design by the architect Helmut Rhode "based on the American model" and is considered a pioneer in office building architecture : "The first building in Germany to be a pure open- plan office ".

The building complex consists of a three-storey, elongated structure (warehouse and administration building) with two atriums and a two-storey structure (office building for the management). A bridge on the first floor connects the two buildings. The building consists of a reinforced concrete structure with a grid module of 7.5 mx 7.5 m and a curtain-type aluminum-glass facade with a rung spacing of 3.5 m.
