Burda Media Park
An aerial precedent for low-rise corporate campus architecture featuring sweeping curved roofs and ribbon glazing integrated into a river valley landscape.
- What we like about this project
- The roof extensions sweep down to meet the ground directly at the eastern tip of the building wing.

- Geometry
- Long low-rise curving wings with cascading sloped roof forms stepping down toward the adjacent river plain.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing with horizontal spandrel panels and timber accents.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with composite floor slabs and long-span roof trusses.
- Spatial scale
- Large three-story office complex dominating the immediate foreground against a vast rural landscape.
- Lighting
- Bright midday sunlight casting short shadows and highlighting the curved metallic roof surfaces.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, open, and calm corporate workspace embedded in a expansive natural setting.
- Environmental context
- Rural-urban edge site situated alongside a straight canal, agricultural fields, and rolling hills in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The sweeping curved footprint creates an open courtyard on one side while orienting continuous ribbon glazing toward the landscape.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical window mullions paired with horizontal ribbon bands and sweeping roof curves.
- Style reading
- Late modern corporate campus with organic curved geometries
