MARCO POLO TOWER
Hamburg, Germany
MARCO POLO TOWER
Hamburg, Germany
Directly on the Elbe, commanding a prominent position in the HafenCity in Hamburg, stands the Marco Polo Tower right beside the new Unilever headquarters. The 55-m-high tower highlights the end of the route from the inner city out to the new attractions: the Elbphilharmonie, the Cruise Ship Terminal and the Promenade am Strandkai. In its form and arrangement, it is a unique and remarkably sculptured building, adding to Hamburg’s silhouette on the Elbe. Its 17 above-ground levels, each turned a few degrees on their axis, allow all 58 apartments spectacular views over the harbor and the city. The booklet shows the design concept as well as sustainability aspects.
