Located in the old centre of Hamburg, the project “Steckelhörn 11” replaces a ruinous building and fills the gap between two historic premises. The lot site has triangular-shaped that stretches across the city block. That condition gives the impact to the design so the building has a narrow façade of about 1.3 m width facing the harbor and a main elevation of about 26.4 m oriented toward Steckelhörn Street.
The main façade of this high rise building which is designed by the German architectural firm J. Mayer H. has cantilevered elements that create a series of specific spatial qualities on the inside and outside. From the top floors of Steckelhörn 11 Building, a spectacular panoramic view over the city of Hamburg can be seen in additional outside space. The ground level accommodates a spacious lobby for the main tenant or a public cafe, the upper floors provide for generous, flexible office space, most of it allowing a view of the “Katharinenkirche” and/or the “Hafen City”.
