The high-rise Centurion Tower Windisch integrates itself with the clear and calm volumetry into the urban environment of the quarter “Vision Mitte”. The building is vertically emphasized by vertical concrete lesene, which are arranged in column grid. Horizontal parapet elements in concrete or natural stone show the different utilization. The window elements in the upper floors are mounted on the concrete structure from the outside. They are each composed of a large fixed panel and the smaller window sash. The railing, which is arranged directly in front of the window sash, is classic but striking in terms of design and ensures against falling. The shading is arranged as a vertically movable element in the back-ventilated spandrel.

The base floor is designed with floor-to-ceiling glazing, which is outlined by solid concrete elements.
