Sandtorkai

The office building at Sandtorkai is located at the new connecting axis between the HafenCity and the city centre, the Großer Grasbrook, which is of urban planning importance and leads the visitors directly to the new cruise terminal. The building is the first respectively last component on the polder at Sandtorkai, where eight new buildings are lined up like architectural jewellery. The massiveness of the north and east façades is emphasised by the chosen materiality: large, 12-cm thick, red dyed pre-cast concrete elements. The windows are deeply recessed, so that the solidity of the walls is clearly perceptible.
