Jürgen Mayer H. Architects: Schlump ONE

The German studio's most recent project renovates a 1950s administrative building, completely redesigning the façade to form a single, organic unit freely interpreting the original building's linear design.

German architecture studio Jürgen Mayer H. Architects have recently completed the Schlump ONE office building in Eimsbüttel, Hamburg, Germany. The building was originally conceived in the 1950s as an administration building. During the 1990s was gutted, renovated and expanded, and and Jürgen Mayer H. Architects have now completed its conversion into an office building with four possible rental units per floor.

An existing data processing center in the courtyard has been transformed into a private university and expanded to include a new building. The volume's façade was completely renovated and redesigned — in the characteristic style of the studio — to form a single unit freely interpreting the original building's 1950s linear design. The façade's formal language continues in the design of the interior spaces. The project features an open space planning design with oversized "tree sculptures."
