The C-HUB fits perfectly into the commercial development on the canal bank without being formally ingratiated. The buildings receive their high quality from excellent construction and execution quality as well as from high-quality materials and the most careful proportioning of the components.
In this way, they create a convincing and timeless framework for the young creatives and start-ups. To be sure, roughly peeled concrete surfaces and metal profiles also seem to underline a functional industrial character inside. However, spatial relationships, views and air spaces also create high spatial qualities as a working environment and continue the concept of refining an industrial construction method in spatial terms.
The creative industry centre is a remarkable gem of contemporary architecture that will radiate far beyond the city limits.
