The new district Holstenareal in Hamburg is the missing link in the re-development of Altona. Our focus is on the quality of the public realm wih the creation of highly attractive lanes, paths and squares. The Holstenplatz around the JuliusTurm with its hotel, nature market, cafe, micro-brewery, trade and craftsman's yard becomes the thriving central public square sited at the head of the new park. This is complimented by a smaller secondary square with sporting amenity, playground, cafes and small scale retail.
