URBAINITY BRIDGE – A CAMPUS FOR THE COMPANIES OF TOMORROW

"Urbainity Bridge combines future-proof workplaces, laboratories and training places on one campus. On construction sites 1 to 3, state-of-the-art laboratory units meet a technical training academy and specialized medical specialists as well as other flexible office and commercial spaces. Creative new work studios, roof gardens and a food court create a special identity and promote community. The campus will open up to the residential area opposite and be a driver for modern workplaces at the Barmbek site. The newly sealed areas will be compensated as much as possible by a dense green zone, intensive green roofs and green facades on the west side. With CO² neutrality in operation, CO² reduced construction and the use of low-pollutant and healthy building materials, we have set ourselves ambitious sustainability goals. The overall building construction is planned as a timber hybrid construction. The structural concrete components are designed with statically reduced load-bearing systems. We are aiming for at least a DGNB certification in the Gold standard.

LIVING IN HAMBURG-ST. GEORG

In the middle of the historic Münzviertel, this apartment building will create 25 compact and well-designed new apartments in Hamburg. The architecture creates a connection between Hamburg's brick architecture on the street side and sustainable greening concepts for climate adaptation on the courtyard side. High proportions of photovoltaic panels, maximum building efficiency and a dedicated building app make an important contribution to climate protection and at the same time offer a high level of living comfort. Lovingly developed details and special material compositions, right down to the selection of the bricks used from Petersen Tegl, make URBAINITY JUNGLE a valuable one-off.

On the last quiet building site in the new Alsterberg district, we developed an apartment building with an original goal: a private porch for each resident. The generous connection between the inside and outside space has an extraordinary quality. Especially when this open space offers the atmosphere of a holiday home veranda. So we developed a concept in which the loggias are clad with wooden strips and additional cupboards are integrated. Outdoor furniture, cushions and barbecue utensils can be stored there.

GREEN LIVING IN HAMBURG-LOKSTEDT

In Hamburg Lokstedt, a sustainable residential quarter was built between 2013 and 2020 on a former commercial site where gravel was originally mined. In total, we developed almost 400 residential units between Süderfeldstrasse and Lottestrasse. Starting with the project-related development plan, the development of an energy concept and our own design line. The project was built in four construction phases as well as a section for the street and a public green area. The F+K building plots opposite the park were the last houses to be completed at the end of 2020. The entire new development area is supplied with heat and electricity by its own energy network. The combination of architecture and green spaces was our guiding principle in this sustainable district development.

A wooden hybrid building is to be built here, which combines office and laboratory space for various companies in these sectors. With the highest standards of sustainability and future-oriented working environments. A communal bistro, the central reception area and the conference rooms on the roof are just part of the sharing concept. This URBAINITY HOUSE will also be in operation CO2-neutral, but also balance the construction in terms of grey energy and recyclability. Various green facades and roof gardens complete the URBAINITY "Better Buildings" strategy.

Initially commissioned by a Hamburg digital company, we developed a loft building on Budapester Strasse and were able to connect the property thanks to the economic development agency. After merging with another property, an ensemble of flexible and differently sized spaces was created, which ultimately attracted many different creative and cultural companies from the district. A high standard of efficiency and the automated windows result in a very sustainable building concept, as the usual mechanical cooling of office space was no longer necessary.

LUCENTE

APARTMENT HOUSE LUCENTE LIVING IN HAMBURG-EPPENDORF

Two apartment buildings with 32 compact new apartments for singles and couples were built in the old town center of Eppendorf. The gap in the building was very difficult to fill in view of the closely spaced neighboring buildings and the high groundwater level. A key part of our guiding principle was the harmonious integration of the new building into the existing small-scale Wilhelminian style buildings from the 19th century. Due to a lack of space and the well-connected location, an underground car park was not included. And the positive demand for this high-quality product confirms our approach. The buyers mainly travel by public transport and bicycle.

ENERGETIC URBAN REDEVELOPMENT

ENERGY-EFFICIENT URBAN RENOVATION
IN HAMBURG BERGEDORF
MORE ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR THE DISTRICT

After the ARGE had prepared a comprehensive report on reducing the energy requirements of Bergedorf-Süd as part of the federal program "Energy-efficient urban renovation", the three-year implementation phase of the concept began in 2014. The aim was to initiate and support measures as part of the renovation management. These were intended to reduce the primary energy requirements of the Hamburg district in the long term by reducing the building's energy requirements and converting the energy supply. In addition to the broad-based implementation, lighthouse projects of particular importance for Bergedorf were supervised. For example, the Rudolf Steiner School, which includes the oldest school building in Hamburg. It was reopened on September 1, 2017 after the measures were completed. This Hamburg project on sustainable, urban development was selected as one of twelve representative projects and scientifically supported by a research group commissioned by the federal government.

On this basis, the development of a sustainable energy supply and measures for CO2-Reduction in the building stock on a large scale. The research project was part of the EnEff:Stadt program of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and was carried out by the University of Applied Sciences (HAW), the HafenCity University Hamburg (HCU) and the Authority for the Environment and Energy (BUE), among others. As a partner in the data integration and microsimulation research package, we developed methods and tools for large-scale neighborhood surveys and supported their application in selected model neighborhoods in Hamburg.

GREEN LIVING
IN HAMBURG-ALSTERDORF

On a former barracks site, we developed an inclusive residential quarter, a daycare center and office space for the GWG housing administration. The first approach in this project was to ensure that only minimal CO2-Emissions are generated during operation. The development of an energy concept therefore came before urban development. A self-sufficient heat and electricity supply with its own heating network, high building efficiency standards and DGNB certification were the core goals of the new district. In addition, social mixing was a focus for us, which is why we created 50% social housing and 50% barrier-free housing, including 52 subsidized student apartments and some residential group projects for people in need of support.

We implemented the Smartloft concept H99 in the middle of the Hoheluftchaussee main road and close to the university. The aim of closing this gap in the building was to develop small and cleverly designed apartments that enable a high quality of life despite the noisy street. The result was 45 m² units that were pushed through as a cube. The kitchen-living rooms were arranged on the street side, a sanitary core in the middle as a wooden cube and the sleeping area, living room and balcony on the quiet west side. All apartments were partially furnished and every small space was planned with built-in cupboards and space for household appliances. The restaurant on the ground floor with outdoor seating in the courtyard fits well with the young target group of the house community. They also use the community raised garden for table tennis tournaments and barbecue events.

In Süderfeld Park, we developed an ensemble of subsidized student apartments, subsidized family apartments and a daycare center for ZBI Wohnen in Service Development. The daycare center with 110 places was deliberately placed next to the newly created public park. The remaining apartments, of which 93 are for students and trainees alone, are grouped around a shared green courtyard. For the first time, we used the innovative and time-saving VST composite formwork system: a technology in which the shell elements are industrially prefabricated to exact dimensions and then assembled directly on the construction site. The concreting is done with self-compacting concrete. As part of the sustainable energy concept of this real estate project, the KFW 55 and 40 standards were combined with a solar thermal system and a cogeneration plant.

HOTEL IN HAMBURG HARBOR

The "Terminal 144 Youth Hostel" concept is uniquely positioned in the low-budget hotel segment: It takes on the individuality of the location and at the same time creates enthusiasm for it. The "container rooms" developed especially for this concept combine purism and design for the essentials - the view of the city and the Elbe. The Lego-like modularity of the container construction offers two different room sizes: one container per single guest or couple, two to three containers for a family. Together with Studio Labs, we developed this vision for the Port of Hamburg. With an industrial product that is unmissable in Hamburg - the sea container.

The building complex of today's Carossa Quarter is located in the northern part of Spandau between the Havel and Streitstrasse. It was built between 1938 and 1942 by the architect Hans Hertlein for Siemens as an aviation equipment factory and is now a listed building. Together with ZBI, we developed the urban structure, functional mix and individual products as part of a service development. For the area around the Hertlein building, it was necessary to draw up a development plan, which we primarily managed. The planning goal of the development plan was to provide additional residential building space for Berlin on a scale of around 1.200 residential units.

A Cliffhouse on Mallorca

"The Refugio" is located directly on a 30-meter-high cliff on the steep coast in the southeast of Mallorca. The two-storey cliff house is a reduced, white cube that is deliberately closed off from the street. The facade serves as a neutral canvas, providing a suitable background for four tall palm trees. The main orientation of the house opens up to the sea through a seven-meter-high hall with an open gallery. The views and the sunlight are directed by wooden shutters that can be moved like an accordion on the upper floor. Local natural stones, lime plaster, white concrete and the striking wooden elements create a relaxed, Mediterranean architectural composition. The cubic architecture of the building provides a framework for traditional architectural details that have been reinterpreted.

Expansion of the office space at Falkenried

achtung! is a communications agency for the hyper-connected reality with its headquarters in Hamburg Falkenried, which we have been supporting since 2004. For further expansion of the headquarters in the Falkenried area, Urbainity architecture developed new comfortable office spaces for the areas of management, finance and IT. Concentrated work is made possible by the slightly tinted glass partition walls, and at the same time the open coffee bar offers informal exchange between employees.

PROJECT JUNGLE COMPACT LIVING CONCEPTS

In the middle of the historic Münzviertel, this apartment building will create 25 compact and well-designed new apartments in Hamburg. The architecture creates a connection between Hamburg's brick architecture on the street side and sustainable greening concepts for climate adaptation on the courtyard side. High proportions of photovoltaic panels, maximum building efficiency and a dedicated building app make an important contribution to climate protection and at the same time offer a high level of living comfort. Lovingly developed details and special material compositions, right down to the selection of the bricks used from Petersen Tegl, make URBAINITY JUNGLE a valuable one-off.
