Building development Hamburg-Nord District Office | Hamburg-Eppendorf
3rd Prize | In collaboration with gmp Architekten
The Seitz Quarter is transforming the listed ensemble of the district office into a lively and sustainable neighborhood development. Carefully placed new buildings open up the site and create new connections to Marie-Jonas-Platz and the Magistrale. At the center is the newly designed open space: the previously inaccessible inner courtyard is being transformed into a green, publicly accessible neighborhood courtyard close to the apartments, offering quiet recreation areas, play and meeting spaces, and connected to the surrounding squares via a new passageway. Curved new plantings complement the valuable tree population and give the courtyard a landscaped character. An urban mix of commercial, office, and diverse residential forms enlivens the neighborhood, while a sustainable mobility concept with spacious bicycle garages, a mobility hub, and workshops promotes a low-car environment.
