Considered one of the jewels of architecture from the 60s and placed under heritage protection, the office building located at the Bahnhofgürtel in Graz is now fully renovated. The latest techniques in construction were used in the newly redesigned office spaces, in order to achieve maximum comfort and energy efficiency. The highlight of the building is the elegant lobby on the ground-floor, whose fully glazed façade creates a new appealing entrance for the Bahnhofgürtel and therefore, a new renovated entrance to the city.
