LOKI SCHMIDT HOUSE
HAMBURG, GERMANY
The three-story Loki Schmidt House in Hamburg, built according to plans by Bernhard Winking, has housed the Botanical Collection of the University of Hamburg since 2016. The impact of the three-story cobalt-blue cube as an architectural standalone is enhanced by the extraordinary facade design using 97 x 97 mm high-gloss ceramic tiles. This effect is further amplified by a subtle curvature of the tiles, which reflects incoming light in a unique way, giving the building a striking, luminous presence.
Custom-made L-shaped elements were produced for building corners, reveals, and lintels, ensuring seamless and visually uniform transitions.
