The interior design with 4,500 square metres of commercial areas is also an expression of the climate-friendly construction method. Vertical gardens welcome visitors on every level with staghorn ferns, orchids and other rainforest plants that evoke immediate well-being and radiate a pleasant greenhouse atmosphere. The partially visible wood composite construction on the underside of ceilings and the supports along the façade, where wood was left visible, are equally appealing to the senses. Floor-to-ceiling glazing allows plenty of daylight to enter the interiors and creates a feeling of spaciousness. A large hall on the ground floor offers a variety of options for congresses, events and all kinds of cultural activities, while on the 7th floor a large common room with terrace is available to all tenants of the Westspitze, who can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view from here.
At the back of Westspitze, further construction work was carried out. According to a design by a+r Architekten, a residential quarter with a total of 106 1- to 5-room flats along with a supermarket and a commercial unit was built in the area of Reutlinger Strasse, Josef-Wochenmark-Weg and Hanna-Bernheim-Strasse, and completed in November 2020.
