The design for the office building is the result of a limited competion by the investor cogiton in 2006. the building site is situated at the intersection between the 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 facade 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 facade into the landscape.
