General building information
The Eclipse office tower in Düsseldorf was completed in 2022. The 16-storey building, designed by HPP Architects in collaboration with UNStudio on behalf of the company “die developer”, rises up into the sky with its striking glass façade directly on Kennedydamm. Eclipse offers 30,000 square metres of gross floor space and a modern office landscape with around 1,200 workplaces.
Due to the location of Eclipse, surrounded by two intersecting federal roads with high noise levels in the outdoor area, the common areas for the users of the Eclipse offices are located mainly inside the building. The centrepieces are the atria and light wells, which are located on several floors and, in some cases, extend over three floors. In these atria, employees will find a wide range of recreational areas, such as a cafeteria and an event hall, which can be seen clearly through the glass of the façade also from the outside. Where the flat window surfaces can be seen through the glass façade, the atria connect to form a “vertical campus” that extends to the roof terrace with a sweeping view over the city. “The Eclipse acts as a communicator and creates an urban connection between the neighbourhood and the world of work,” says Werner Sübai, Senior Partner at HPP Architects. Sustainability also played a major role in the construction of the building.
Why did the customer choose OBO products?
In this project, the OBO BlackLine products impressed with their versatility and elegance. BlackLine is OBO’s system solution for black surface-mounted installations. It not only offers a wide range of options for defining an appealing and modern style, but also scores points in terms of sustainability and environmental compatibility. This is because all OBO BlackLine components simplify dismantling and enable efficient recycling, therefore meeting the concept of circular construction. The portfolio includes device installation and cable trunking, underfloor solutions and cable trays. BlackLine products have been installed on several levels in the Eclipse building and now fit seamlessly into the overall concept.
