Germany, Hamburg, Elbphilharmonic Concert House, located at the Hamburg harbour on the way in to the harbours historic warehouse complex & new build harbour city.
The heart of the Elbphilharmonie is the large concert hall, built according to the Weinberg principle. The stage is positioned in the middle of the concert hall & surrounded by terraced public seats for the concert visitors.
Through the vineyard architecture, no spectator sits are more than 30 meters away from the conductor. The wall of the Great Hall, the "White Skin", owes its name to the roughly 10,000 gypsum individual sound measured plasterboards that make up the surface of the walls & ceiling with a large sound reflector installed above the stage. The panels reflecting together with the centre reflector on the ceiling vault the sound in every angle & guarantees optimal listening pleasure on every single seat.
The Façade is covered with 1096 individual fabricated glass elements; each one features an individualized raster print & some each divergently shape, serving as a sunscreen & décor. Each glass element at a cost of 3.000 € average.
Over 4.000 single mouth blown light globs placed at concert house.
An 82 mtr long, crescent shaped moving staircase will connect the building entrance from the basement to the plaza above the original warehouse, where the buildings foyer & a visitor platform with view over Hamburg’s harbour is located.
The Elbphilharmonic Plaza at a height of 37 metres above ground level, serves as the junction between the old harbour warehouse & the modern glass structure above it. Wave shaped glass windows & doors on both sides of the plaza can be opened, depending on weather conditions. The public viewing platform is accessible daily from 9 am till midnight to everyone with a magnificent 360° view of the harbour & part of the city, opened with a ceremony on November 4. November 2016.
The three historic & restored half-porches cranes on the south side of the Kaispeicher were used until the early 1990th to load the coffee & cocoa bags from the ships into the interior of the warehouse
Planed from 2001 till 2006 under construction until 2016 including the completely scoop-out warehouse from 1963. Accomplished in November 2016, the new 110 mtr, 26 floors high Elbphilharmonic, includes a large concert hall with a capacity for 2150 guest, a small concert hall with a capacity for 550 guest, a 244 rooms hotel, restaurants & 44 luxury apartments. Initial cost estimated in 2005 185 million €, by completion estimated cost will have increased to approximately 800 million €.
However, finally the construction with many unusual handcrafted modern features is concluded & the first concerts will be presented on January 17. 2017.
The new “Elphi” will be another impressive asset & an additional fascinating landmark for Hamburg.
