The Olivetti building in Frankfurt
One of the most striking buildings built by Wayss & Freytag AG with their own slip form department was the administrative building of „Olivetti GmbH“ in Frankfurt/Main. Besides the Y-shape elevation throughout several floors, the unconventional architecture wins through free-standing stair towers in exposed concrete quality. In addition to the emergency staircases, the elevator and staircase shafts inside the building were also built using the slip form method.
Further details:
- 7,100 m² area of inner shaft walls built in slip form method
- 35 m sliding height
- 4,000 m² area of escape staircases built in slip form method
