World-Class-Design Made by Creative Design

Office - Intelligent Quarters HafenCity Hamburg

In HafenCity, Hamburg's largest urban development project, we worked with STRABAG Real Estate to develop the three-part "Intelligent Quarters" building ensemble with 32,000 m² of gross floor area for offices and apartments. In addition to the general planning, our architecture specialists also supported the competition process.

Shopping – Cano Singen

We are currently developing and realizing the Cano shopping center in Singen's pedestrian zone, which will open in autumn 2020. Our creative design specialists provided the all-round package for this: from functional planning and the façade competition to interior and brand design, they came up with all the concepts and designs.

Living – Alstercampus Hamburg

In a prominent location on Hamburg's Outer Alster, right next to the Atlantic Hotel, we developed and realized the "Alstercampus" residential quarter comprising around 250 apartments. Both the general planning and the design were developed by our creative design specialists.

Office - Creative Design Offices ECE-Campus Hamburg

Creating innovative working environments is one of our core competencies. Our Creative Design department recently redesigned its own work areas and created new workstations, meeting rooms and presentation facilities, including acoustic optimizations, as well as a completely new world of colours and materials in which the Creative Design offices now shine.

Leisure – Foodtopia MyZeil

We created a new dimension of Gastronomy and Entertainment in a shopping center with the complete redesign of the fourth center floor of MyZeil: This revitalization, which we conceptualized, not only allowed us to profit from new food concepts, some of which were represented in Germany for the first time ever, and the premium cinema ASTOR Film Lounge as tenants, but also transformed the previously little-visited top floor of the center into Frankfurt's new "place to be".

Hotel – 25hours Hotel Düsseldorf

In the new "Le Quartier Central" district, we developed Düsseldorf's first 25hours hotel, which comprises around 200 rooms on 17 floors. The exciting contrast between German engineering and French artistic flair is due to the conception of our Specialists, as well as the general planning.

Leisure – ÁRKÁD Budapest FoodLoft

Creating an indoor market hall in the middle of a shopping center - with this idea from our creative design experts, ÁRKÁD Budapest was given its new food and beverage area, the FoodLoft, in 2019. Arranged in a cluster on the second floor of the center, the FoodLoft, which features various interior designs and an open ceiling, extends over an area that was previously partly vacant and partly occupied by retail outlets. The highlight is the outdoor terrace, which gives the loft its name.

Interior Design - Rothenbaum-Tennisstadion Hamburg

We gave the legendary Rothenbaum tennis stadium in Hamburg an all-round makeover. With the development and implementation of a new branding, which goes hand in hand with a sophisticated color and material concept, the Rothenbaum Stadium has been setting new standards in the color scheme of grandstand facilities in stadiums since its reopening in summer 2020.

Architecture and planning - Adigeo, Verona

The Adigeo shopping center in Verona, which we developed and opened in 2018, is a masterpiece from an architectural point of view in several ways: the A-shaped arrangement of the center embodies the branding and center logo we developed, coupled with the center name, and the facade and interior design of the center are also unique in Italy: double-storey store facades offer completely new presentation options for the tenants, some of whom are represented in Italy for the first time.

Communication Design / Brand Development - Cano Singen

Another example of the stringent implementation of a logo and branding from A to Z is the Cano shopping center in Singen, which is reflected not only in the advertising presence and in the marketing brochures designed by us, but also in the interior design of the center.
