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. The ‘eyes’ in the facade and the platforms in the park form places to meet and contemplate.
The office spaces serve both a generic spatial layout and specific moments related to the ‘eyes’. Large spans provide for various office layout configurations in combination with balconies and climatically tempered outdoor spaces of the ‘eyes’.
The office building ‘An der Alster 1’ links interior and exterior spaces to the public park in front of the building and to the city context of Hamburg, becoming a new anchor at the prestigious Aussenalster waterfront.

EXTERNALLY IT LOOKS LIKE A SAD AND OLD 70′S BUILDING. INTERIORS AE MORE INTERESTING..
I actually find the opposite-the interior is bland white modernism, the exterior is dynamic (though will be dated by the time it’s built).
слышь ПИЗДАТЫЕ у вас здания были в 70-х, покажешь а то не видал чет не хде…!!!
P.S. ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ…
i think its just great
SLEEPER (1973)
i’m agree with 2MACoff,
just a old look building, it seems like a rebuild of an 70′s building.
The 70s where cool cult.
so old-fashioned……………………..
好样的
I like it in its “old-fashioned” way :)
agree^^^
for me is just consistent,, interesting
I had a look at this earlier in the year. It looked out of place and felt like watching a re-run of startrek, except I had seen it already.
Have a look at the images, they do not lie.
it seems that the building has a “cartoony” effect.
probably the effect of the black outlines surrounding each windows and the building itself.
i find it good though, except the interior.
groovy!
get rid of the interior
first sight of this building is almost like an old fashion. i like this building’s night vision though. it has more color.
In an other word, why people don’t like colors in their design? Most of modern architects like use gray, white and black in their portfolio.
