Future-oriented campus in timber hybrid construction with adaptive shading elements
Project
LIFE HAMBURG is a future-oriented campus dedicated to lifelong learning and collaborative working. Initiated by Benjamin and Janina Lin Otto, the project is being developed under the auspices of their Holistic Foundation in the Bramfeld district of Hamburg, on the grounds of the Otto Group. LIFE HAMBURG brings together flexible spaces for education, recreation, and work within a sustainable structure built in timber-hybrid construction. The distinctive façade, featuring fixed shading and light-directing elements, is precisely aligned with the sun’s path and adapts to seasonal changes – making the concept of sustainability a tangible experience for users and visitors alike.
