Mit 13,5 Meter Riegeltiefe bietet das Gebäude maximale Flächenausnutzung. (This sentence appears with regard to the ground floor.)

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for the correct term for "Riegeltiefe". What's more, I don't understand what it means in German either..

Thanks ever so much!

Have a nice day.

depth of the wing of the building
Explanation:
The 13.5m width quoted allows for a corridor along the middle with offices either side. The depth of the office (outside wall to corridor wall) depends on many things, not least of which is the ratio of the depth of the office to the size of the window for optimising natural daylight in the office.
