EDGE ElbSide, located in Hamburg\u2019s Elbbr\u00fccken district, sets new standards for sustainable construction. The smart office building combines innovative architecture, energy-efficient building technology, and high-performance glazing solutions to create a modern and future-oriented working environment.<\/p>\n
After approximately two and a half years of construction, the building was handed over to its main tenant, Vattenfall, which occupies more than 80% of the space. The development consists of a seven-storey podium building and a 17-storey tower featuring office and gastronomy areas. Spacious atriums and transparent winter gardens create flexible and attractive working environments.<\/p>\n
The approximately 12,000 m\u00b2 fa\u00e7ade combines sophisticated design with high functionality. Pilkington Suncool\u2122 70\/35 solar control insulating glass was used throughout large parts of the building envelope. The triple safety glazing reduces solar heat gain while ensuring high daylight transmission and a comfortable indoor climate.<\/p>\n
The striking winter gardens were also equipped with Pilkington Suncool\u2122 70\/35. In the ground floor and mezzanine areas, Pilkington Suncool\u2122 50\/25 was additionally used to provide enhanced solar protection during warmer periods.<\/p>\n
EDGE ElbSide was designed with a strong focus on sustainability and user well-being. The slim-floor construction method significantly reduces CO\u2082 emissions compared to conventional concrete structures. Natural ventilation, daylight-optimized interiors, and energy-efficient building systems contribute to a modern and resource-saving workplace.<\/p>\n
The project aims to achieve HafenCity Platinum and WELL Core & Shell Gold certifications, underlining its commitment to sustainability, health, and comfort. EDGE ElbSide therefore represents a new generation of sustainable office buildings.<\/p>\n
