Herzog & de Meuron's Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

A Crowing Moment for Brick

This article was recently published online via Architect Magazine and it caused us to do a double take.

How amazing is this revitalization project where, a historic former tea and cocoa warehouse has been turned into a concert hall, music education area, hotel, and plaza in Hamburg, Germany?

We think the added glass structure, which houses the three concert halls, looks like a crown atop the brick beauty.  Don’t you agree?

Opening concerts will be held starting January 2017.
