By interlinking nature and city life, the new station plays a role in contributing to the city’s vision of consolidating Hamburg’s green spaces. Conceptually, the project is a compilation of three primary elements: a base, a roofscape and two towers. The base gathers the project’s public and urban attributes, while the two towers accommodate a hotel and office spaces with views of Hamburg. An undulating roof landscape binds these two elements together and looks to offer a softer and inviting quality to the proposal.  Image Courtesy © C.F. Møller Architects The base level hosts the public realm and new Altona North train station, creating contact with adjacent streets and urban spaces. It looks to provide the backdrop to a wide range of public functions that create life and activity within a station; such as cafes, restaurants, shops, fitness facilities, bicycle parking, waiting areas and entrance lobbies. The connective roof not only gathers together the different elements of the project but also provides a canopy for many outdoor public functions at ground level. It allows the covered area of the forecourt to be used 365 days a year for cafés, farmers’ markets and cultural events. The roof itself hosts a green park above, with covered outdoor spaces for the hotel and offices. The roof landscape embodies a collective and progressive vision of reinforcing Hamburg’s green credentials.  Image Courtesy © C.F. Møller Architects  Image Courtesy © C.F.
