Following an architectural competition, the Dutch team was commissioned to design an office building on the development plot situated on Bernhard-Nocht-Straße.

The building, with its punched-window façade in anthracite-grey brick, comprises a five-storey wing running north–south, stepped up to six storeys at its northern end and featuring a five-storey appendix to the east.

Strik­ing, sol­id, sophisticated.

At three strategic points, the façade’s almost homogeneous skin is interrupted by large glazed sections. Two roof terraces offer office occupiers unobstructed views across the city and the Elbe. The south-eastern corner of the building projects freely over the recessed entrance area, accentuating the building’s dynamic composition.
