The "roots" in Hamburg is a unique 19-storey wooden skyscraper with a height of around 65 meters. It is the tallest of its kind in Germany. The innovative building will be part of the entrance to the Elbbrücken quarter in Hamburg's HafenCity.
A total of 5,500 cubic meters of softwood were used in this project. With this construction method, the project developer Garbe Immobilien-Projekte created a best case and made a contribution to climate-efficient and resource-saving project development. Furthermore, this project contributed to reducing the CO2 footprint and also takes into account the limitation of noise emissions.
From root to crown, everything is made of wood
A truly successful symbiosis between urbanity and the environment on a gross floor area of around 20,600 square meters. 181 residential units, including 128 condominiums and 53 publicly subsidized apartments, are being built in the design of the Hamburg architectural firm Störmer Murphy and Partners, which combines high-end architecture with the increasing desire to be close to nature.
Completion is scheduled for 2024. The sealing systems for this sophisticated, sustainable and architecturally valuable project, which involves an investment volume of around 140 million euros, were supplied by DOYMA.
With our decision to increasingly use wood as a building material, we are taking an unconventional path, but one that protects the climate and resources and promises a long service life.
Benedict Pielmeier, Project Manager Garbe Immobilien-Projekte GmbH
Garbe Immobilien-Projekte GmbH commissioned architects Störmer, Murphy and Partners to build the "roots". DOYMA annular space seals were planned for the construction. The major task was to seal the sprinkler tank system. The contractor Minimax from Reinfeld installed the Curaflex® C sealing systems.
