A space for collaboration and innovation: EDGE HafenCity office building opens in Hamburg
In the western part of Hamburg's HafenCity, the first tenants have moved into the EDGE HafenCity office building. After around five years of construction, the building was completed at the beginning of the year. We won the architectural competition in 2017.
EDGE HafenCity has been designed like a small town, including areas for meetings and exchange, shared lunch and coffee breaks, and personal relaxation. This energy-efficient office building actively fosters interaction and collaboration by bringing its users together while also being open to visitors and locals.
The new build comprises two parts: a square-shaped seven-story structure and a tower rising to a total height of almost 60 meters in the southwest corner. A central, publicly accessible atrium creates the communicating heart of the new building. An open staircase spirals around the central air space, interconnecting all floors.
