Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier (Roofing)
HafenCity, the largest inner-city development project in Europe, is being built in Hamburg. Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier is both an integrated district and the heart of HafenCity. Its spectacular metal and glass roof was designed and developed by Werner Sobek.
Filigree Mesh of Metal & Glass
The district will combine a mix of retail, entertainment concepts, more than 40 gastronomy units, offices for 4,000 workplaces, three hotels, a cruise terminal and a total of 650 flats on a total area of around 419,000 m².
A filigree mesh of metal and glass provides a transparent roofing over large parts of the quarter, which significantly improves the quality of stay. First renderings give a taste of the coming leisure and shopping experience.
