Erick van Egeraats ‘Sumatra’ building in Hamburg is nearing completion. Sumatra is located in the heart of Hafencity Hamburg, the largest inner urban redevelopment of Europe. The building comprises spaces for retail, offices and housing on a gross floor area of 37,000 m2 and forms a clear urban block built around an inner courtyard, which is open towards the main boulevard. This arrangement creates a semi-public space that offers a retreat for the building’s residents but is accessible for outsiders at the same time.
Aesthetically, the new building refers to the red-brick harbour aesthetics of the historic Speicherstadt on the one hand and the traditional white plaster façades of the inner city on the other. Mixed with glass and aluminium, the outer façades facing the streets are predominantly composed of natural stone. In contrast, all façades towards the courtyard are white.
The official opening of the building will be announced on the website.
