The building site is situated at the intersection between Hamburg's lively downtown and its urban landscape rich in water and mature trees. It is at the transition from city to nature, and the gateway building to the bustling metropolitan core. The horizontal striped façade with its floating 'eyes' celebrates the view onto this unique context. A public park in front of the building continues the design strategy of the façade into the landscape. The 'eyes' in the façade and the platforms in the park form places to meet and contemplate. The office spaces serve both a generic spatial layout and specific moments related to the 'eyes'. Large spans provide for various office layout configurations in combination with balconies and climatically tempered outdoor spaces of the 'eyes'. The office building 'An der Alster 1' links interior and exterior spaces to the public park in front of the building (text from architect's website).
