25.11.2019 – After a construction period of less than a year, the Haspa (Hamburger Sparkasse) bank branch in Hamburg’s Schanzenviertel has re-opened for business in new offices at its former position on the corner of Schulterblatt and Juliusstraße.
Here, on a tightly confined site restricted on all sides by adjacent existing buildings, a modern structure with a reinforced concrete skeleton has emerged. In addition to the Haspa branch office areas, four subsidised housing units have also been planned in the two upper storeys.
For its façade, in close coordination with the local advisory council, the architects have produced an artistically designed exposed concrete construction with generously dimensioned wooden windows, setting a new tone in this colourful district and acting as a highlight for Hamburg’s famous street corner.
