GAP 15, Office building in Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte, Germany.
GAP 15 is an office building in Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte featuring a 24-story tower with an elliptical floor plan and a 5-story base section. The structure provides roughly 69,000 square meters of total space with room for about 1,600 workstations, along with shops and cafes on the ground floor.
The building was constructed between 2003 and 2005, with the architecture firm JSK handling the planning phase in 2002 and 2003. Its unusual elliptical form represented an important development in Düsseldorf's urban growth at the time.
The building shapes the character of Düsseldorf's business district with its distinctive form and the mix of offices with shops at street level. This combination of workspace and retail in one structure reflects how contemporary commercial buildings blend different uses together.
The building offers 600 parking spaces on lower floors and provides good accessibility for visitors and workers. The shops and cafes on the ground level allow you to handle various errands without leaving the building.
The tower's elliptical floor plan was structurally unusual and required specialized digital techniques during construction. An intelligent control system allows the floor layout to be adjusted without altering the physical structure.
