My4Walls Kapstadtring Hamburg

Half a century after it was first completed, the former Peters office tower in Hamburg’s “City Nord” area is sporting a radiant new look. Dating from the 1960s, this listed building underwent extensive renovation work before reopening in May 2018 as the state-ofthe- art serviced apartment building my4walls. This ambitious project has attracted not only widespread praise but also one of the sought-after “Oscars of the property world”, scooping a FIABCI Prix d’Excellence Germany 2020 in the commercial building category. Hamburg-based architectural firm Mevius Mörker planned the modernisation of the building ensemble, which was originally designed by Peter Neve and was typical of its era. The façade was a particular challenge, as it is modelled on the original down to the last detail while also meeting modern thermal insulation and fire-protection standards. It was realised by Lemgoer BBS Metallbau und Schiffsausbau GmbH using special constructions based on HUECK Trigon 60 and HUECK Lambda WS 075.
