10.09.2021 - Today, the topping-out ceremony for the Warburg-Ensemble was celebrated on Warburgstraße in Hamburg! The renovation work is in full swing, and the nine historic buildings are already beginning to shine in new splendour.
The 19th century building complex invites the observer to peer into the history and architecture of the townhouses, but at the same time also to see into their future as a place for shaping social change. Up to 35 scientists will soon live and work in Hamburg's new think tank. Their challenge is to find concrete solutions for the most pressing challenges of our time, at the interface of economy, ecology and democracy.
For us, the challenge is to bring the structure of "The New Institut" up to state-of-the-art in harmony with the existing building and the preservation of historical monuments, with new lifts, stairs, balconies, ceilings, extensions, the lowering of floors, underpinning of foundations and much more. An exciting task.
