DG Bank building


The DG Bank building is an office, conference, and residential building located at Pariser Platz 3 in Berlin. It was designed by architect Frank Gehry. Construction began in 1998 and was completed in 2000.

The building is mixed-use . Facing the Brandenburg Gate are offices, the headquarters of Deutsche Genossenschaftsbank . On the other side, facing Behrenstraße, are 39 residential apartments. Between the two is a large atrium, designed to be used as a conference or performance space. This is covered with a sophisticated glass-grid roof, curved in a complex form typical of Gehry's designs.
