Körner Building

Jentz • Popp • Roloff • Wiesner

Conversion and upward extension of the Körner Building
Hamburg

completion 1991
BGF 1.200 qm


The Körner Building in Poststraße, erected in 1906,  numbers among the beautiful and original edifices in the city, a rounded construction resulting from the shape of the street. Even before renovation, it consisted of four storeys behind a massive natural stone façade topped by an almost invisible gabled attic space. In the course of acquiring a further storey-level, it has achieved a satisfying completeness by means of vertical steel beams curving round with the facade  – a harmonious extension to the building.
