Oval Am Kaiserkai, Hamburg, Germany
Oval Am Kaiserkai, Hamburg, Germany
In the HafenCity, on a direct view corridor towards Hamburg’s inner city, lies the Oval am Kaiserkai with one of the most beautiful views of the Speicherstadt and the harbour. The area is characterized by its mix of contrasting urban elements such as industrial structures, historic warehouses and modern buildings, as well as by its extensive references to water. Today, the Oval with its distinct shape and exposed location in close proximity to the soon-to-be-built Elbphilarmonie, is a widely visible sign for the HafenCity. Construction began in 2007, with completion in early 2009.

The facade of the 38-meter-high residential building consists of clear, transparent as well as closed, mirrored elements. They convey a sense of great homogeneity as they have been developed with the same construction principles in mind. Continuous balconies and a curved, wave-like glass façade characterize the western front. The eastern façade is a fully glazed wall to protect against noise emissions. The building, with a gross floor area of 5455 sq m, houses 28 units from 57 to 123 sq m.
