ELBPHILHARMONIE  Hamburg Herzog+de Meuron  2007/2016 

The tallest residential building in Hamburg is a concert hall constructed on top of a warehouse in a harbor. The architects cite as its main influences the ancient Greek theatre at Delphi, sports arenas and tents. It is referred to colloquially as Elphi. 

The Norddeutscher Rundfunk Elbphilharmonie (musical director Alan Gilbert) is the hall’s resident orchestra. The Großer Saal has a seating capacity of 2,100. The terraced “vineyard” seating plan brings the audience closer to the stage than the traditional “shoebox” style, which is used in the Kleiner Saal.

The mixed use building comprises the music hall, a music education facility, a Westin hotel, a parking structure and the inevitable luxury residences. The final cost of the project: €870 million.

Good wood - the beautifully put together ‘Llano Retreat’ by the Llano river in Texas. High ceilings accentuate the vast space and give a super cool and airy feel to the place. Paired with striking features like the mezzanine staircase, it’s a little slice of Texan heaven. By the Michael Hsu Office of Architecture.

Dear Archy, Do you know of any examples of interesting underground architecture? I’m thinking of maybe doing an underground library for my thesis project, but I don’t know where to start.

Check out previous posts about:

Also, check out these three recent examples of underground libraries that resolve the design in very different ways:

Joe & Rika Mansueto Library Murphy/Jahn

Library Delft University of Technology Mecanoo
