Emporio

The Emporio building rises 98 meters with three wings extending from a triangular core, featuring 24 floors of commercial space in Hamburg's center.

Built in 1964 as Deutsche Unilever headquarters, the structure received cultural heritage monument status in 2001 before undergoing renovation from 2009 to 2012.

The restored foyer maintains original elements including tetrahedron-shaped concrete ceiling components and wood-paneled walls that reflect 1960s German architecture.

The building contains 40,000 square meters of office space, with modern heating and cooling systems that reduce operating costs by fifty-three percent.

During renovation, workers replaced 2,700 facade elements while preserving the original appearance, earning the building LEED Platinum certification for energy efficiency.
