Lufthansa Empfangsgebäude
New entrance to Lufthansa’s Hamburg base
One immediately associates the appearance of Lufthansa Technik’s reception building with flying, gliding, lightness of weight and fluid dynamics.
The reception building is at the center and entryway of the drive-in area. Its striking silhouette renders it easily recognizable. The visitor gains a direct intuitive sense of a dynamic high-tech aeronautical-engineering operation.
The central traffic island is a glass-enclosed structure that directs one’s view toward the building. The contrast between surrounding nature and the artificial center is particularly emphasized. The encompassing glass façade enables one to look into and out of the building, imparting to it an inviting and quasi-transparent aspect.
