About the project
Haven is a floating public space in one of the canal of Hammerbrook, Hamburg. Hamburg is known for its rivers and canals running through the city, surrounded by rustic warehouse buildings. Despite the usage of the trading route years before, it is now underused. Therefore, the public space is to rejuvenate the canal by providing meeting spaces for the locals. Haven is created with an eye-catching connection and structure with nature elements that contrasts with the surroundings to attract passerby to visit the space. The design concept consists of stilts elements in the design inspired by the stems of water plants. A transition space through three different heights is created that provokes a change of mood, providing different atmospheres and views.
