Hadi Teherani Architects GmbH
THE SPIN is a hybrid high-rise that combines different uses. Lobbies, event and conference rooms, a wellness area and restaurant are located in the projecting base storeys. Eighteen similarly structured storeys with 4-star hotel rooms are located above. The top third of the building consists of ten office floors, whose cantilevered storeys create 11,800 square meters of office space - including small and large roof terraces. With its interplay of strict and staggered layers, THE SPIN becomes a metaphor for the vertical city. The building, whose base zone is characterized above all by a direct dialogue with the urban space, is itself a tower visible from afar and a powerful source of inspiration. Its soffits, its views, its inward and outward curves - they are all spatial elements that correspond with their urban surroundings and at the same time serve as a benchmark for them. The dynamic architecture is the eponym for THE SPIN, whose concept is emphasized by the uniformly vertical façade structure: Transparent and black-colored glass panels alternate, vertically divided by chrome-plated profiles. THE SPIN, which emerged as the successful design from a competition, thus presents itself from all sides as an unmistakable landmark that effectively enriches the Frankfurt skyline.
