The authors of the project are the architects of the KSP Jürgen Engel bureau. We are talking about the Nextower office tower (135 m) and the first hotel of the Jumeirah chain in Germany (96 m), which also contains office space.
The curtain walls of the facades of both buildings are made of glass and aluminum; they are divided into many clearly marked panels. In addition, they are enlivened by wide strips of glass without metal profiles. The impactfulness of the appearance of the towers is added by their broken silhouette, which changes depending on the point of view.
PalaisQuartier includes, in addition to these two buildings, the MyZeil shopping center of Massimiliano Fuksas, as well as the Baroque palace of the princes of Turm und Taxis, recreated from scratch (the original was destroyed during the war).
