Ellipson

Have you ever imagined working in a building that redefined the very concept of “office”? The Ellipson in Dortmund isn’t just a building. It’s a statement. Right here before us stands this sleek, modern structure, reaching towards the sky with its flat roof and 17 floors. The Ellipson isn’t just tall; it’s a giant, standing almost 60 meters high. Completed in July 1999 after a rapid 19-month construction period, the Ellipson was envisioned as more than just steel and concrete. It was designed to be a hub of innovation, a testament to forward-thinking architecture. The Ellipson was a joint project, brought to life by Bilfinger Berger Projektentwicklung GmbH and the office21 research project led by Fraunhofer IAO. Imagine, back in January 1998, Dortmund’s mayor laying the foundation stone for what would become a symbol of the city’s dynamic spirit. Today, the Ellipson houses approximately 10,000 square meters of office space. This isn’t your average office block; it’s a fully integrated ecosystem. It boasts a state-of-the-art automated parking system with room for 150 vehicles of all sizes. Cutting-edge IT infrastructure and telecommunications services are at the heart of the Ellipson, ensuring seamless connectivity for its occupants. And after a long day’s work? No need to travel far. The Ellipson’s ground floor is home to a selection of restaurants and bistros, perfect for unwinding and socializing. Located on the bustling Ruhrallee (B54), right next to the Stadthaus station, the Ellipson is easily accessible. It’s a testament to how thoughtful design can blend seamlessly with functionality. So next time you picture the modern office, picture the Ellipson.
