Welcome to kiteLoft!
State-of-the-art offices designed for well-being and a rooftop terrace with a view stretching across the Cologne skyline all the way to the cathedral: Landmarken AG’s first completed Spirit Office offers its users a wonderful atmosphere with a clear conscience—designed to meet the BEG 40 EE energy efficiency standard, the office building can be operated entirely climate-neutrally.
The Spirit Offices concept delivers what an office must offer today: community, sustainability, health, and smart design. The new office standard, developed by Landmarken in collaboration with New York-based architect Matthias Hollwich—who was responsible for the interior design—transforms the Kite Loft into a “digital home” that thinks for itself, promotes health through fitness facilities and the use of healthy materials, and strengthens a sense of community through inspiring shared spaces. In addition to the ingenious rooftop terrace, this is ensured by the café on the ground floor, where an attractive dining concept can be implemented.
Excellent public transportation and road access ensure very good accessibility and visibility, complemented by outdoor facilities that offer a high quality of stay, parking spaces in the parking garage—some equipped with pre-wiring for electric vehicle charging—a modern bike storage area for e-bikes, and showers for anyone who comes by bike or goes for a jog in the park during their break.
While the facade’s intelligent modular design already conserved resources during construction, energy is sustainably generated through geothermal power during operation. With a supply of green electricity and thanks to optimal adjustment of the property via building automation with digital measurement and control components, the Kite Loft can be operated in a climate-neutral manner. An attractive benefit: Operating costs in the DGNB Gold-certified building are capped to ensure planning certainty.
With these sustainability features, a high-ceilinged foyer, and its loft-style New York design, the project—which completes the development of the Kite Campus at Butzweilerhof—sets new standards.
