PROJECTS / KANT & KOPF HAMBURG

Part of Hamburg, and a Building of the Future

At the water's edge of the Elbe, everything that belongs together comes together. The KANT UND KOPF is the new building complex with a concept that, in a prime location – right on the Elbe riverbank – creates space for ideas, ambition, and creative flow. Here, cutting-edge office spaces meet retail and dining areas in sustainable, elegant architecture. The top-notch mixed-use concept is further complemented by a green rooftop terrace, a unique view, and the Strandkai district – all of Hamburg – right at your doorstep. KANT UND KOPF will become a part of HafenCity, a part of Hamburg, and a piece of the future, starting at the end of 2026.

The forward-looking project is distinguished by its sustainable building concept: geothermal energy is used for heating and cooling, and electricity is generated through the expansive photovoltaic system on the roof and facade. Overall, CO2 emissions from the construction and operation of the building will be reduced by more than a third. An intensive green area of 1,580 square meters will give back a piece of green space to nature.

The KANT UND KOPF will be certified with the HafenCity Platinum Environmental Label as well as the LEED Platinum Label.

HafenCity is Europe's largest inner-city urban development project. Along the Elbe, new standards are being set for sustainable and vibrant urban growth. This mixed-use city area, with its ten districts, combines living, working, experiencing, and relaxing, adding 157 hectares of quality of life to Hamburg. Everything is in place and close by. The fact that most journeys can be made on foot is not only convenient but also reduces individual mobility needs. HafenCity is already part of a future where cities are reimagined to meet ecological and economic demands at a high level.

Strandkai is one of the ten districts of HafenCity and is a highly sought-after residential and work location. Situated in close proximity to landmarks like the Elbphilarmonie, the KANT UND KOPF will seamlessly integrate as a modern office building, connecting innovative urban space with a forward-thinking mixed-use concept.

Can an office building be more than just a place you leave at the end of the day? KANT UND KOPF combines everything that makes a building a pioneering work environment and transforms an office into a place of well-being. Health, inspiration, and motivation are vital resources for our creativity. Natural materials, pleasant acoustic environments, breaks in green spaces, and state-of-the-art offices are sources of inspiration that KANT UND KOPF offers its occupants.
