UNILEVERHAUS HAFENCITY HAMBURG
Hamburg, Germany
The new Unilever headquarter building for Germany, Austria and Switzerland is located right by the river Elbe, prominently positioned in Hamburg's HafenCity. It marks the end of the route out of the town center to Hamburg's new attractions: the Cruise Ship Terminal and the Promenade am Strandkai. At this special location, the building opens itself up to the city and its inhabitants.
The central element and heart of the design is the generous atrium, flooded by daylight, which, on the ground floor, gives passers-by the opportunity to get to know the company better while browsing in the shop stocked with Unilever products, sitting in the café, or relaxing in the spa.
Thus, a building evolves that not only intends to serve the company but also enriches the urban space. More about its design concept, the principles of its holistic, sustainable architecture you will find in this booklet.
