The administrative centre of the Commerzbank AG is located in a building of rectangular plan, which consists of twelve stories, ground floor and underground for parking. The ground floor has been left as clear as possible in order to enable vehicles to reach the autobank counters. The upper floors contain the offices. The whole structure is built with concrete, formed by beams which are supported by rows of pillars which. In their turn, transmit the weight to the three unique supports of the ground floor. The facade is built with panels in which the windows are incorporated, and which are composed of two aluminium sheets and a filling of alveolar insulation, with a protection device against sunliglit on its interior part which consists of reflecting plastic laminas. The building is joined with tlie main administrative centre on the other side of the street by means of a suspended crossing, with steel cables, from the tower which was built for this purpose on one side of the new block and which shelters at the same time the centre of the vertical communication as well as the technical installations for ventilation.
