State-of-the-art standards, a diverse infrastructure and an accessible location – THE SQUAIRE at Frankfurt's Airport City is a small city under a single roof and even has its own postal code: 60600. Individually controllable comfort and an appealing design make one of Europe's largest business buildings a place where every individual is able to feel at home while at work. The entire sun and glare control system is located on the inside and is therefore protected against the weather. Along the outer facade, WAREMA roller blinds, types OT.S.08 and OT.O.08, protect the interior against the ingress of excessive light and heat. They are particularly well-suited for large-area shading needs.

On the atria and within the double skin facade on the narrow western side of THE SQUAIRE, around 2,300 WAREMA external venetian blinds with aluminium flat slats provide highly effective sun, heat and glare control and minimise the incidence of solar energy. They accomplish this while still affording the user visual contact with the outside. The motorised external venetian blinds also enable occupants to make full use of natural light.
