Danzigerhof is a competition design for a major new mixed-use development located at a key gateway to the historic old town of Gdańsk, comprising a new spa hotel and Grade-A office space above ground level retail and hospitality units.
This highly CONTEXTUAL design, based on the principles of classical architectural composition, references the adjacent historic former Bank of Gdańsk building, reimagining this in a more contemporary form that reflects the variety and scale of internal spaces and functions the new building accommodates.
Through the REGENERATION of this brownfield site Danzigerhof, together with its historic neighbour, re-frame the entrance to the iconic Highland Gate, dating from 1588, which signals the start of the historic Royal Route extending along Długa Street and Długi Targ Street to the Green Gate and the Motława River beyond, reinvigorating the public realm and improving the legibility of this key gateway to the Old Town.
