Danish design studio ADEPT has won a competition to design one of Germany’s largest fully-wooden construction buildings in the Wandsbek district of Hamburg, Germany. The building, which counts almost 34,000 sqm, is expected to open in 2026 and will house public administration facilities. Both the architecture firm and the project's client envision the building as a "sustainable pilot project" with its green facades and exposed CLT constructions. The project will be built on a narrow plot that has influenced the structure's characteristic narrow shape. The structure is split into smaller shifted volumes, which alternate in height and facade to make the space more human-oriented, and to animate the facade. The primary arrival plaza creates an attractive urban space, with a fully green gable rising above street level. The rest of the façades have green elements that reflect the green roof gardens at the top of the building. The outer facades are designed to highlight the project's openness and visual and spatial comfort with its emphasis on interaction with users through warm and inviting atmospheres throughout the building.
