Marco-Polo-Tower, Residential skyscraper in HafenCity, Germany
The Marco Polo Tower rises 55 meters into the Hamburg skyline with 17 floors rotating gradually around a central axis near the Elbe River.
Built in 2009, this residential building marked the first private housing development in the HafenCity district, transforming Hamburg's former port area into a modern neighborhood.
The structure represents modern German architectural innovation through its spiral design, creating individual floor layouts for each of its 58 residential units.
Residents access their apartments through a central atrium with concierge service, while vacuum collectors on the roof provide cooling through a heat exchange system.
Each floor rotates slightly from the one below, creating expanding dimensions until the twelfth floor, then reducing in size for the luxury penthouses above.
