stilwerk - Düsseldorf (IV)

The third stilwerk location, stilwerk Düsseldorf was opened in 2000 in Grünstrasse, intersecting the city’s famous Königsallee. In this modern new building, 42 premium retailers present their products on a total sales floor of 17,000 square metres.

The architecture of every stilwerk location is a key element in the overall concept, and is aligned perfectly to each site. stilwerk Düsseldorf is a breathtaking work of architecture, with five storeys rising 32 metres in the form of an ellipse and crowned with a glass roof that can be opened in fine weather. The entrance to the rectangular building, set on a plinth base, is dominated by a recessed glass facade. The elliptical body extends from the 22-m plinth block to a height of 32 metres, and is roofed by a filigree glass and steel construction. The interior of the building is designed as an elliptical atrium ringed by galleries forming the sales floors. The building was designed by architects’ office J.S.K. Architekten and won the “Haus mit Himmel” award from the Association of German Architects, Düsseldorf, in 2000.
