H15 Crafts Quarter
What if a workshop was as flexible as the craft itself?
H15 is a collaborative craft quarter that reimagines the modern workshop—an adaptable, timber-constructed space designed to grow with its users. Situated within the Hamburg-Nord business park, the building serves as an open platform for craftsmen, offering maximum flexibility to accommodate a diverse range of production and office functions.
Local carpentry alliances, start-ups, and small businesses can shape their work environments within a highly customizable framework. High floor-to-floor ratios allow businesses to modify and expand their spaces freely, while the façade incorporates customizable shading elements, enabling each company to express its identity. Drawing inspiration from industrial architecture, the all-timber construction merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary workspaces, fostering open, versatile floorplans. At the intersection of two functional masterplans, H15 extends beyond workspace: its rooftop cultural garden integrates small offices and co-living spaces, providing a home for visiting carpenters and reinforcing a community-driven, future-oriented model of work and craft.
