Overall view of all construction phases

Construction phases

The entire project consists of 22 Houses and 4 Forums in three construction phases, which are connected by an underground parking garage.

More

The first construction phase of the Rhein-Palais Bonn, comprising the right wing of the entire complex, was completed in 2019. The central section of the Rhein-Palais is currently under construction. The third phase is currently being planned and comprises the left wing building complexes, which will complete the Rhein-Palais as a whole.

The Rhein-Palais Bonn combines aesthetics and functionality in the style of the classic Parisian office architecture of the "Boulevard Haussmann," which is consistently expressed throughout. The various buildings and outdoor areas form an elegant unit and impressively shape the appearance of the surrounding area.

Virtual tour

A 360° journey around the Rhein-Palais

French gardens with a large sun terrace

Optimal working environment

In a fascinating architectural gem, the Rhein-Palais Bonn, harmony and technological advancement merge into a unique experience. Here, where every detail is carefully planned, a harmonious and functionally high-quality working environment is created.

Overall concept

A well-thought-out master plan

The thoroughly thought-out master plan of the Rhein-Palais extends from the architecture to the layout of the various buildings, forums, and boulevards, right down to the underground parking garage. The classic, appealing, and functional architecture meets even the highest demands of its users. The spaciously designed boulevards encourage social interactions and encounters, while the artistically designed facades and windows create a harmonious composition.

Facades and windows

Aesthetic unity: facades and windows as a composition

The facades and windows of the Rhein-Palais form an aesthetic unity with light-filled rooms and ornate decorative grilles. This combination of aesthetic design and natural beauty makes the Rhein-Palais an outstanding landmark in its surroundings.

Offices and roof terraces

Panoramic views and spaciousness: offices and roof terraces

The Rhein-Palais' expansive boulevards create a generous space for activity and encounters. From the terraces and balconies, employees, business colleagues and visitors enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the nearby Rhine riverbanks of the Bonner Bogen and the picturesque Siebengebirge mountains.

High-tech and comfort

High-tech and all comforts for a better quality of life

The Rhein-Palais ensures that users and visitors feel comfortable on all levels. The state-of-the-art office buildings, featuring innovative high-tech solutions, as well as the breathtaking views and beautifully landscaped open spaces, promote a perfect work-life balance. Intelligent technology enables optimal room climate control, lighting control, and connectivity that meets the individual needs of users.

The Rhein-Palais is not only an architectural gem, but also a modern working environment that enhances productivity and promotes well-being. It combines harmony, beauty, and technological comfort into a unique place that will delight your employees and visitors alike.

Outdoor areas

Mediterranean flower arrangements with a southern French flair

In spring and summer, the Rhein-Palais shines in vibrant colors thanks to judiciously selected plantings. Hardy Phoenix palms and cypresses lined with lavender, as well as harmonious floral arrangements, give the Rhein-Palais the special flair of southern France.

More

Innovative irrigation systems and frost protection

The plants of the Rhein-Palais Bonn benefit from state-of-the-art irrigation systems. Rainwater is collected in underground cisterns and automatically released to the plants. This ensures that the flowers and plants always thrive and are protected from drying out.

Should temperatures drop in winter, underground heating lines are activated. Thanks to this solution, the plants remain in optimal condition year-round. It's an impressive place, captivating both with its beauty and the innovative technology that maintains it.

Impressions

The reservoir

At the Rhein-Palais Bonn, every drop of rain is used: all the rainwater that falls on the grounds of the Rhein-Palais Bonn is collected in a specially designed cistern and treated for reuse.

The water is used to irrigate the Mediterranean plants, clean the outdoor areas, and for firefighting operations. The cistern also serves as a retention basin in the event of potential flooding. With this uncompromising reuse of all rainwater, the Rhein-Palais sets standards in sustainability.

The animation below will show you how the reuse cycle works.

How rainwater is reused in the Rhein-Palais Bonn

Roof, terrace, and floor surfaces collect rainwater for reuse.

The water is supplied through pipes from the underground cistern.

The water is carefully filtered in the cistern and then piped to the gardens.

The cistern water also supplies the entire facility for cleaning and firefighting purposes.

This is how rainwater is reused: Bewässerung, Reinigung, Löscharbeiten

Easily accessible but perfectly protected: The Rhein-Palais Bonn sets new standards in underground parking with innovative technology and state-of-the-art construction.

The underground parking garage is bright, well-organized, and completely open, making it easy to navigate and park comfortably. All individual Houses and Forums are accessible via separate entrances directly from the underground parking garage.

The two-lane entrance and exit allows for convenient access from both the south and north. With 777 parking spaces, the underground car park offers sufficient capacity for employees and visitors.

Flood protection +

The underground car park and the building entrances are flood-protected up to a height of 57 m above sea level. 

At the Rhein-Palais Bonn, flood protection goes beyond external measures. Stairwells and utility rooms in the underground garage are equipped with additional security measures.

The internal barriers ensure that these areas remain dry and safe even if the underground car park floods.

Safety and comfort +

Powerful smoke extraction system

Another technical highlight is the powerful smoke extraction system. Large fans ensure complete smoke extraction from the underground car park in an emergency. During normal operation, they provide continuous ventilation, but can also remove smoke quickly and effectively when needed. Jet fans form a virtual fire compartment and contain the smoke in a targeted manner. This combination ensures optimal protection in the event of a fire.

Parking management

Efficient parking management immediately shows you where the free spaces are, eliminating the hassle of searching for an available parking space. Furthermore, the entire underground car park is monitored by cameras, providing additional security.

Bicycle garage and charging stations

The bicycle garage is connected to the stairwells, providing cover from the rain when entering the offices. Plenty of charging stations are available for electric vehicles.

A shining jewel

The illumination of the entire Rhein-Palais building at night is an impressive spectacle that highlights the beauty of the classical facades. To ensure that the magnificent buildings remain visible even after dark, custom "wallwasher" lamps were installed on the rising pilasters. These special lamps bathe the facades in a special light, ensuring that the architectural details can be admired even at night.

More

In addition, the Mediterranean plants surrounding the Rhein-Palais are illuminated from below. This targeted light display creates a truly unique sight, delighting employees and visitors even during the darker months of the year.

General lighting on the site is provided by tall whip masts. These masts not only provide consistent illumination but are also connected to the security lighting system. Thus, they provide a reliable light source in the event of an emergency, contributing to the safety of visitors and tenants.

Overall, the well-thought-out lighting of the Rhein-Palais creates an atmosphere that underlines both the aesthetics of the buildings and the safety of the surrounding area.
