位于Karlsruhe的软件制造商的新办公大楼的设计理念遵循了透明软件工厂的原则。HENN的设计从建筑外观开始，并且持续运用到建筑的结构，内部组织和室内设计中。

The design idea behind the new office building for a software manufacturer based in Karlsruhe follows the principle of a transparent software factory. HENN’s design starts from the appearance of the façade and is consistently applied to the building structure, internal organization, and interior design.

新建筑由三个相互连结的体量组成，体量之间微微错位来容纳宽敞的露台，一层北侧的悬挑天篷则强调了主入口。朝北面的玻璃立面微微倾斜，像扇子一样包裹着几何体量。这一细节使建筑增添了微妙的层次感，同时将外墙表面转化为吸引人的浮雕式结构。深色金属带在水平方向上分割了建筑体量。不透明和透明的元素营造出光影交错的效果。

The new building consists of three interlocking volumes that are slightly offset to include several spacious terraces and a cantilevered canopy that emphasizes the main entrance on the north side of the first floor. The large windows of the north-facing façade are slanted and wrap around the geometric volume like a fan. This detail lends a subtle depth to the building while transforming the façade surface into an intriguing relief-like structure. Dark metal bands divide the volumes in the horizontal direction. The opaque and transparent elements create an interplay of light and shadow.
