In between, glazed windows allow daylight to reach deep inside the facility, while larger openings on the southwest façade illuminate workstations on the administrative floors.

The public can enjoy the rooftop bar, cross-fit area, or the highest observation deck in the city before descending the 490 m tree-lined hiking and running trail within the lush, mountainous terrain.

Pushing down the corners of the building.

As the result, the apartments are transformed into courtyard houses with big gardens and generous views. A mix of more than 20 different plants that blossom at different times of the year turn the south façade into a living hillside changing with the seasons.

Rather than placing a traditional slab of apartments next to a block of cars, BIG proposed mixing the two and exploiting their differences as a strength rather than a weakness: cars need large floor plates and good proximity to the street, while houses want sunlight and views. The openings between them are letting cascades of light into the deep process hall and the administration spaces.

The Mountain is the second generation of the BIG-designed VM Houses: same client, same size, and same street. The opera will appear like a landscape of concentric terraces – emanating like soundwaves from a central beating heart of music, expanding outward into the harbor like ripples on the surface of the sea. Immersive concentric wooden rings shape the hall and its balconies, dissolve the boundaries between spectators and artists, between reality and fiction.”

Shaped by the movement of the water, the surrounding park is designed by BIG Landscape and manages storm surges through sloping terraces, vegetated dunes, and wetland gardens that slow and absorb the flow.

The power plant’s infrastructure, from ventilation shafts to air-intakes, helps create the varied topography of a mountain; a man-made landscape created in the encounter between the needs from below and the desires from above.

Ten floors of administrative space are occupied by the Amager Resource Center team, including a 600 m2 education center for academic tours, workshops and sustainability conferences.

At the bottom of the ski slope, an après-ski bar welcomes locals and visitors to wind down once the boots are off.

FACADE — The building is gently wrapped with a continuous façade made out of stacked aluminum bricks.

The parking structure is sloping upwards in a serpentine zigzag from south to north.

COPENHILL — Rather than a traditional visitor center, people come on their own for skiing and hiking, and become curious about what happens inside the mountain. Visitors can move along the facades and glimpse into the foyer, rehearsal rooms, backstage areas and offices, revealing the complexity behind a working opera house.

SLOPE ACCESS — Access to the ski paths is through an elevator adjacent to the smokestack. Since the parking is outdoor and naturally ventilated, the façade is perforated to let it “breathe.” By perforating the traditional aluminum plates in six different sizes, the façade creates a rasterized image of Mount Everest.

This sculpted topography offers pathways across the building, moving from the quay to elevated gardens, creating outdoor gathering spaces and a new public link between the city and the river.

“The new Hamburg State Opera inhabits an island at the heart of HafenCity bookended by the vertical landmarks of Elbturm and Elbphilharmonie.

We are honored to have been chosen to imagine this key puzzle piece of the transformation of Hamburg’s HafenCity, and we are deeply grateful to Herr und Frau Kühne to be entrusted to turn their generosity into the city’s new epicenter for the performing arts.”

Whether arriving by foot, taxi, or bus, visitors can enter the opera from several directions – through the park, from the pier, or directly from the ‘opera street’ by Baakenhafenbrücke.

What appears at close to be a pattern of transparency and opacity becomes a crystal clear image at a distance.
