The listed HVB-Tower or formerly Hypo-Haus or Hypo-Hochhaus is the headquarters of Unicredit Bank AG with a trading area and data center in Munich .
Architecture and history
As early as 1960 there were initial considerations to concentrate the headquarters of what was then Hypo-Bank, which was spread over twelve locations, in one place. In 1969, concrete planning began for the construction of the Hypo-House at Arabellapark, together with the Betz architects. Preparations for construction began in September 1974 with the excavation. Construction work on the low-rise buildings and the columns of the tower began in April 1975. In November 1978, the new rooms in the low-rise buildings were occupied.
The skyscraper was completed in 1981 and officially opened on November 16, 1981. Today it is the headquarters of UniCredit Bank AG at Arabellapark. The ensemble also includes two low-rise buildings (north and south) and the later-built Hypo-Haus Ost .
The building stands at the Richard-Strauss-Straße , corner Denninger Street, right on the middle ring in Arabella Park (district Bogenhausen , at the underground station Richard-Strauss-Straße the line U4 ). It is 113.7 meters high and was designed by the architect couple Walther and Bea Betz . The static calculations were very complex due to the unusual architecture and comprised 100,000 pages. The client was the Hypo-Bank Verwaltungszentrum GmbH & Co. KG , the general contractor was the Held & Francke Bauaktiengesellschaft . The HVB Tower was the first building in Munich with a height of over 110 meters.
The building complex consists of a tower with 27 above-ground and four underground floors as well as two low-rise buildings connected to the tower. The net floor area (NGF) is approx. 100,000 m², the gross floor area (GFA) 140,000 m².
The six hanging floors in the building (fifth to tenth floors), which are suspended from the central supporting frame, are a special architectural feature.
The HVB Tower has been a listed building since 2006 ( D-1-62-000-8063 ).
Until the completion of Uptown Munich in 2004, the 27-story HVB Tower was Munich's tallest office building.
use
The HVB Tower is the corporate headquarters of Unicredit Bank AG with office space, conference zone, trading area, data center and company restaurant (capacity: 2,800 workstations).
As part of the renovation, a modern office space concept was introduced in the HVB Tower, the flexible working " Smart Working ".
Energetic renovation
In March 2011, Unicredit Bank AG announced that the HVB Tower would be sustainably renovated by 2015 and converted into a “green building”. Construction work began in 2013. The HVB Tower was certified according to the international LEED standard . The modernization was carried out by the Henn architects' office .
An important part of the energetic renovation was the renewal of the entire facade with special consideration of the monument protection. In addition, the building technology was renewed, the building fire protection adapted to today's standards and geothermal and rainwater utilization implemented.
Renewal of the facade
The existing two-pane insulating glass facade will be replaced by a box-window facade with a total of four layers of glass, which corresponds to the current state of the art. Fixed-glazed outer panes (a layer of glass) with defined ventilation openings enable air to be exchanged with the outside air by opening the inner window sash with triple solar protection insulating glazing. The coating of the glasses enables an optimal use of daylight while minimizing the solar heat input. This can reduce cooling loads in summer as well as heating energy requirements in winter. A computer-controlled sun protection in the box window reacts both to the changing position of the sun and to the individual needs of the user; it is integrated in the control of the building services systems. Waste heat generated by exposure to the sun is discharged to the outside through the ventilation openings in the box window and relieves the cooling of the building.
Renewal of building technology
The outdated and energy-intensive building services systems were replaced. New heating-cooling systems increase the efficiency in operation and increase the comfort for the building users. The new building technology is closely coordinated with the new facade as a "climate skin".
Modernization of fire protection concept
The new fire protection concept consists of optimizing evacuation and fire attack. Among other things, stairwell pressure ventilation and highly efficient smoke extraction from the usable areas were implemented in the tower.
Rainwater harvesting
By installing a rainwater cistern, water consumption is reduced. The irrigation of the outdoor facilities can be fed from this reservoir.
Geothermal energy
The installation of a well cooling enables the use of groundwater as an energy carrier and uses the heat exchange principle to reduce the energy consumption for cooling in summer and heating in winter.
The renovation of the northern low-rise building is planned for 2018-2022 (originally 2016-2019).
Trivia
Parts of the film Kunyonga - Murder in Africa were shot in the Hypo house.
On the inside cover of the British band Electric Light Orchestra's album Time from 1981 - the year of its completion - the building served as the background image.
