14.01.2021 - The jury for the BDA Hamburg Architecture Prize 2020 has decided: The new residential and commercial building on Schulterblatt wins the first prize!
The jury said in its judgement: Here, where the windows shook on every night of rioting in Hamburg, there now stands a residential and commercial building that both absorbs the founding spirit of its built neighbourhood as well as its structure, and creatively reflects the liveliness of the Schanzenviertel. A slender “scaffolding” of concrete beams and columns, in which large, bright wooden windows, loggias and a terrace in the recess create sculptural depth, combine logically with the context on all sides. Discreetly artistically refined by vertical concrete hatching with cheeky grained zig-zag graphics, however, the waywardness of the genius loci is also matched. Now the house itself makes a riot, in a good sense.
