— DRH360°

In cooperation with the award winning agencies ]init[ and Zum Goldenen Hirschen, Studio Jester Blank developed and implemented a virtual tour through the historic site of Detlev Rohwedder Building.

Since 1999 this building is the seat of the German Finance Ministry. Before that, among others, it also hosted the Reich Aviation Ministry (1935–45), German Economic Commission, "House of Ministries" of the GDR and Treuhandanstalt, whose president’s name was given to the building after his assassination by the R.A.F. in 1991.

The tour invites visitors to representational spaces and working areas of civil servants, providing interactive elements, stories, historical imagery, video content and other visually processed facts.

The services of Studio Jester Blank included consulting, high resolution spherical photography, architectural 3d modeling and non-standard frontend techniques.
