Cologne, Germany: Kranhaus Nord

What exactly do we have here?

This was odd enough of a sight from the boat on the Rhine to make an item out of it. You don't see buildings like this on the waterfront very often.

The complex is called Kranhaus Nord. That translates to crane house. This used to be a big shipping area, and the design of the building is something of a tribute to the big cranes that used to occupy the region. 

The new 17-story buildings have a split purpose. Two are used for office, while the third (and on the right of the photo here) is for luxury apartments.
