EDGE ElbSide Hamburg

EDGE ElbSide Hamburg makes that a reality. Harnessing digital transformation and big data, EDGE ElbSide Hamburg employs exact monitoring and adaptive control systems to meticulously observe and modify the building’s functions to fit its users' needs in real-time. This allows the building to automatically respond to occupant behaviour and environmental factors to optimise resource use and improve user comfort.

As Germany's largest structure utilizing slim-floor construction, EDGE ElbSide cuts CO₂ emissions by nearly 50% compared to a regular concrete construction. The building is also set to feature a rooftop photovoltaic system, helping it achieve HafenCity Platinum and WELL Core & Shell Gold environmental certifications for sustainability.

EDGE ElbSide Hamburg does so through its innovative design features. The office spaces are not conventional and isolated, but rather flexible and open, allowing for different modes of working and collaborating. The building is structured around a "main street" that connects the different floors and serves as a hub of communication and interaction. The winter gardens, facing outwards and spanning over several levels, provide lounge-like spaces that can be used throughout the year. They also act as buffer zones that regulate the building's temperature and ventilation and introduce natural elements such as light and plants. The energy concept of the building is based on modularity, flexibility, and environmental harmony, resulting in a high-quality and comfortable working environment.
