DESCRIPTION
Hans-Böckler-Haus is a 10-story commercial building located in Düsseldorf, Germany. The building was originally constructed in 1968, and the facade was retrofitted in 2012. The retrofit involved mainly repairs to the original facade and replacement of the stripped window for a highly-efficient system to maintain the building's original character.
