An urban mixture of different types of living and working arised in the immediate vicinity of the water in the form of the Creative Blocks in Hamburg’s HafenCity. Usages do justice to inhabitants’ new wishes – because human interaction is crucial precisely in an age of digitization. Alongside your own private apartment, spacious common rooms serve as places to meet and mingle. Guest apartments and event areas can be rented when needed as a way of further fostering communicative life together. Pride of place in our design goes to the market hall: Here, exhibition zone, hospitality outlets, and crafts workshops mix in inspiring fashion. The partners in the crafts workshops either manufacture things on site or use the market hall to display their wares.

With ingenious hybrid architecture for flexible residential and work worlds.
