Hotel Lehmann.
This dynamic new building, situated in an unassuming setting, enhances the area and captivates with its striking appearance both day and night. The building becomes a vibrant hub that invites people to linger.
Our flagship project in northern Hamburg is located in a setting where hardly anyone would think to give architecture or design even the slightest consideration: on Steilshooper Allee. An area zoned for two-story buildings in the master plan will be increased to five stories thanks to our design. This will create a hotel with a total of 300 rooms. The goal was to optimize the site and develop a master plan with STRAHL-KRAFT for the entire area.
Given the predominance of industrial and commercial buildings in the area, our design drew inspiration from the existing forms and facades, resulting in a building that, at first glance, appears to be a cubist commercial structure with a windowless facade. But as dusk falls, a second look reveals that the facade is actually permeable, allowing the activity within to be seen through a fiberglass membrane.
The changing interplay of light and shadow makes the building exciting and vibrant. It invites people to pause in a place where, before, only a red traffic light could have compelled them to linger for a moment.
