The Five Boats – an office building located in Duisburg harbour area, completed in 2004 – was designed by a well-known London architect Nicholas Grimshaw, built by Architekten 24 and furnished by another renowned interior design office Bahl in Hagen, Germany. This seven-floor high office complex consists of 5 boat-shaped buildings connected via linking sections.
In addition to a spectacular facade illumination, the linking sections are furnished with 10 images – two on each floor. The images come from Earthsong, a collection of Bernhard Edmaier’s most spectacular images and a bestseller. Each image measures 170 x 170 cm and is mounted behind high-quality acrylic glass.
