Details
The Beehive is an innovative residential concept in Hamburg that combines living and working under one roof. It tackles loneliness, traffic, and climate impact while fostering community and diversity. Each of the 27 homes and businesses is uniquely tailored to individual needs. Shared spaces encourage activity, collaboration, and spontaneous encounters—some are open to neighbours, strengthening local ties. With a focus on sustainability, there’s space for people, plants, and bees. The residents are urban pioneers, creating solutions that inspire a future where living, working, and thriving coexist—like in a beehive.
