Hopfenburg
Hopfensack, Hamburg-Mitte, Hamburg, Germany
Conversion and refurbishment of a “Kontorhaus” in Hamburg, GermanyThe name “´Hopfenburg” has historical connections. It
was here at the beginning of the 20th. Century that hops were stored
and beer brewed. The seven-storey building with its highly ornamental façade
was over the years constantly altered and rebuilt. The upper storey was added
in 1991.
To fit the contemporary needs of the modern office
block, it was necessary to gut the entire office space, resulting in a
confrontation with the stimulating synthesis between the historical facade and
the specific needs of the interior office space. The decision was taken to
develop a unified concept for the whole building whereby the materials, surface
areas and colours would harmonize together.
The building’s façade is being considered for a
preservation order and therefore could not be altered in anyway. The only
changes that were allowed were a frameless wood main door and a panorama window
on the ground floor.
A ceiling high sheet of light, made up of round wall
lights encased in metal holdings, awakens the curiosity and guides the visitor
into the building.
The building with its special layout lends itself to a
division in three areas. The ground floor is reserved as a gallery. The above
two floors offer a rented space of about 100 sq. metres, and 200 sq. metres
respectively. The floors 3 - 5 will offer space of about 280 to 300 sq. metres
each.
The backbone of the whole project is the striking
custom-made furniture element. These distinctive structures are exceptionally
inventive but also functional and with their up to the minute architectural
design provide a dynamic contrast to the historical building itself.
With their special geometry, their convoluted forms
and spatial details these pieces of furniture extend throughout the entire
length of the building’s open office space. They also outline the secondary
rooms, for example the toilets, and the pantries as well as providing
integrated storage space. The whole element is equipped with coved lighting
that emphasises the floating element of the constructions.
