The last empty site in the Arnulfpark of Munich’s St. Vinzenz area in the district of Neuhausen-Nymphenburg was closed by the “NOVE by Citterio” Office Palazzo. An architectural highlight of the Milan-based architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners was created on a 7,330 m² plot and with an investment sum of 170 million euros. The total area of the building is 31,000 m², of which almost 27,000 m² are used as office space. The office building has six standard storeys, a 23 metre high, a representative atrium, and a high-rise wing with 9 storeys.

The initial ground-breaking ceremony for this unusual office building took place in the summer of 2014. By the end of 2015, approx. 132,000 tonnes of soil had been moved, and 5,200 tonnes of steel and approx. 70,000 tonnes of concrete had been installed. The façade elements have integrated sun control. The appearance of the façade is unusual and elegant: Gold-bronze aluminium frames around the windows lend the building a three-dimensional structure.

The heart of the office complex is the 700 m² atrium. The generously dimensioned roof terraces on the 6th floor provide an outstanding view as far as the foothills of the Alps. Apparently floating lounge bridges between the different parts of the building are intended to invite the occupants to exchange ideas with their co-workers and serve as a quiet zone.

The internationally award-winning Swiss landscape architect Enzo Enea was commissioned to design the inner courtyards and the external facilities. The “NOVE by Citterio” is designed as a green building and the aim is to achieve LEED Platinum certification.
