Cocoon was opened on 18 July 2004 inside a newly built concrete office building, named U.F.O. (Unbekannter Frankfurter Osten)[2] constructed by Dietz Joppien Architekten in the industrial east of Frankfurt. It was the successor of the Omen club. The designer of the club interior was the company 3deluxe from Wiesbaden. It was an investment of several million Euros (10 million just for the design by the company 3deluxe).
