Colorium, Office building in Hamm, Germany

The Colorium features 2200 color-printed glass panels across its 17 stories, creating a pattern of blues, oranges, reds, and greens on its exterior walls.

British architect Will Alsop completed the construction of this commercial structure in 2001, marking a transformation in the architectural landscape of Hamm.

The building's design incorporates prefabricated aluminum frames with 17 different panel types, reflecting early twentieth-century industrial techniques and modern architectural innovation.

The structure contains office spaces for multiple companies, with glass panels that include internal sun protection systems for temperature control throughout the building.

At night, the red box at the top of the building illuminates the structure, transforming it into a bright landmark visible from numerous points across the city.
