The Zipper
Düsseldorf, Germany
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2022
The RKM 740 / The Zipper by J.MAYER.H is an outstanding building. The new interdisciplinary specialist clinic stands near Düsseldorf-Oberkassel directly on the Rhine at kilometer 740 and is recognizable from afar thanks to its zipper facade and organic shapes.
The shoot was a real challenge: we only had a few days' notice because the project was nominated for the DAM award and photos were needed quickly. We were keen to get drone shots of the project, so a pilot with the appropriate flying licenses had to be there. And when I saw the first snapshots of the roof terrace, I immediately had the image in my head with my assistant looking out over the city in the middle of the "shark's mouth." So much to organize to implement our ideas, and there was only nice weather reported for 2 days!
I then got straight on the phone, rounded up everyone involved, and set off the next day at 03:00 in the morning to photograph this exciting project with my team. Two days later, we were able to send the architects the first selection of images. Mission accomplished!
