The process of urban transformation of the Speicherstadt, in the south of Hamburg, began in the year 2000 with the aim of converting an area filled with port warehouses into a mixed-use district with residential and tertiary buildings of human scale. Winner of the competition organized for this purpose, the project is laid out on three levels: the first is the sea level, grade 0, on which a series of floating platforms of different sizes give access to small vessels and recreational boats as well as to larger yachts and boats. The second level, at 4.5 meters, contains the promenade areas and terraces that close each dock, and protect the area from flooding that tides and storms may cause. The third is the street level, at 7.5 meters, where the vehicle traffic is separated from pedestrian paths and a series of plazas and play areas are laid out. On a material level stone prevails in the complex, though its sobriety is nuanced by the use of materials in different tones, irregular superposed details and decorative elements in prefabricated concrete or ceramic and vegetation.
