They are based in Germany, but have designed properties for Europe, Asia and Australia. One of Ingenhoven's current projects is the 1 Bligh office building in Sydney, which, once complete, will become the first high-rise tower in Australia to receive the highest 6 Star certificate of the Australian GreenStar environmental rating system.
