Innovative workspace at PHOENIX West in Dortmund Hörde
Pioneering office ensemble
In the middle of the old steelworks site on Phoenix West, directly between Warsteiner Music Hall (formerly: Phoenixhalle) and the historic blast furnace, the first two components of a future-oriented office ensemble have been completed. The PhoenixWERK blends naturally into its historical surroundings and at the same time creates a prestigious working environment for its users. Sustainable construction, state-of-the-art technology and high-quality materials are key features. We can respond to the individual wishes and requirements of tenants and investors. Gastronomy units on the first floor, the landscaped inner courtyard, roof terraces and a large number of parking spaces are additional plus points.
Equipment
Façade: A characteristic, high-quality clinker brick façade based on the historic Phoenixhalle. Light-flooded, flexible room layout thanks to the generous window front.
Sustainability: In addition to a resource-saving construction method, economic and ecological operation is particularly important. A KfW 70 standard is therefore achieved by undercutting the current Energy Saving Ordinance.

»Like a conductor, we guide the specialists from all disciplines to a perfect result.«
With increasing mechanization and regulation, construction is also becoming more and more complex. As architects, we use our holistic understanding to coordinate the various specialist disciplines and bring them together like a conductor as general planner or as primus inter pares of an integral planning team to achieve a perfect result.
As generalists, we are required to recognize and scrutinize conflicting objectives and develop the appropriate solutions. We see this as our obligation to the client.
PhoenixWERK is an example of our holistic approach and working methods. We have developed a feasible project from a vision. With a clear concept, we were able to win over the city of Dortmund and all the partners involved. We have overcome hurdles in building and planning law, noise protection and technical building equipment with expertise. In addition, as mediators, we weighed up the different requirements of the owners’ and developers’ associations and led them to the best result in each case. And on the construction site, too, we manage everyone involved with a great deal of discipline and a spirit of partnership.
