“La Taille Vent”Life has come to Hamburg’s HafenCity! Although visitors are still confronted by uncountable cranes as well as the building noise that can drown out the sound of the wind, there are clear signs that people are beginning to inhabit Germany’s largest and most exciting building project.On the southern Kaiserkai, direct on the banks of the Elbe is “La Taille Vent”. Here every apartment is already inhabited. This architectural structure, with its dynamic style, is one of the most outstanding projects created for this new location. “La Taille Vent” means “wind strength” or more loosely translated “formed by the wind”. The slender structure of this apartment house manifests this by seemingly soaring into thealtitude and yet, inclining towards the river. Here the “sun deck feeling” is guaranteed at every level. The uninterrupted expanse of glass forming the windows opens each flat in its full width to the water, letting in light and air. The architectural structure tapers in the middle enabling the flats at the back of the building also to enjoy a direct alignment to the river. Each resident has an everlasting, unobstructed view over the River Elbe.The other advantage of the incorporation of a “waistline” is that the floor plan then becomes more interesting. The company Spine Architects, attaches great importance to a spacious floor plan. It should be a reflection of the modern open, harmonised style of living. Here the living, cooking and dining areas are together and orientate towards the River Elbe. The rooms can be separated off or opened out to each other.The bedrooms and bathrooms with their more private character are situated on the northern side of the building. Every apartment possesses a large balcony or terrace overlooking the Elbe, accessible through sliding doors.In accordance with the conception of the customer, Stilwerk Living, the interior design has been diligently aligned to the Architecture. The twenty apartments are all furnished with top quality material, equipment and the latest modern technology available. By request the owners could seek advice over their furnishings from the Stilwerk Design Centre’s experts.The outcome of the HafenCity for Hamburg is a completely new urban centre providing work and accommodation. Adjacent to “La Taille Vent”, will be the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg’s new cultural flagship. The outlook from the flats themselves includes the Elbe Marina where the ocean liners pass by. No other position in the HafenCity guarantees this unique vista.
