Details
Away from bureaucratic rigidity – towards a lived culture of openness: Bringing 1,450 Vattenfall employees into one shared work environment is more than a move. It’s cultural transformation. In a place that not only reflects change spatially, but invites active co-creation. Elbside expands the idea of work through relationality – thinking space not in floorplans, but in relationships: as a circulating, organically interwoven network with the quality of a village community embedded in the city.
The Jury‘s Statement
The open, vibrant structure defines »Vattenfall Elbside Hamburg«, creating a work environment that centers on relationships and encounters. Distinctive spaces, clear circulation, and diverse areas for interaction enable a new form of collaboration. Especially impressive is how subtly and effectively the spatial design fosters a shift toward community. An outstanding response to the challenges of contemporary working environments.
