Top-out of ‘Edge HafenCity‘ office building in Hamburg
The 'Edge HafenCity' office building in Hamburg's Elbbrücken neighborhood celebrates its topping-out ceremony. The project, designed by HENN, is conceived like a small town, including areas to meet, eat and relax, as well as co-working spaces and zones for focused work. This new build comprises two parts: a square-shaped seven-story structure and a tower that projects from it in the southwest corner, reaching a height of almost 60 meters. Completion is scheduled for 2024.
Two-story arcades and an eight-meter wide, clear-span overhang mark the building’s main entrance at Amerigo-Vespucci-Platz. A central, publicly accessible atrium creates the communicating heart of the new building. An open staircase spirals around the central air space, interconnecting all seven floors. On each floor, terraced levels are created that are available to all tenants as common areas.
All roof surfaces of this energy-neutral building are designed as retention roofs and most of them are densely planted. The tower roof is equipped with photovoltaic panels for power supply. The building has a square grid and is composed of individual units that can be used flexibly. The façade’s red color scheme makes it blend seamlessly into the urban context of HafenCity. The new build is set to be granted the HafenCity Platinum and WELL Core Platinum labels.
