The two buildings are designed as large U-forms that embrace the urban space they are directed towards. The Spiegel building embraces an internal space with a more urban character because of its direction towards the city. The Ericus building embraces an open, green outdoor space as it directed towards the large open Lohsepark.
The two buildings form two plazas: an arrival plaza for pedestrians, cy-clists and drivers towards Brooktorkai and an open public plaza, which has a direct connection to the waterfront promenade.
As soon as in the competition programme for the new Spiegel Headquarters, focus was on sustainability. During the design phase, it was decided to increase requirements in order to meet the special certification developed for Hafencity. This certification is tighter than other certifications in Germany and is considered as a forerunner of the requirements that will be incorporated into German building regulations in the years to come.
