架构师提供的文本描述。在过去的200年里，汉堡霍夫建筑群作为一个真正发展起来的地形，通过住宅和商业建筑不断地重新组合在一起。第一次记录在1828年，前面的建筑被补充了一遍又一遍的庭院侧，建立了两个小的贸易企业以及娱乐场所，如保龄球馆。在过去的两个世纪里，这里有一个青铜铸造厂、一个咖啡烘焙厂、一个啤酒厂、一个锁匠和木工作坊，以及各种餐馆和酒吧，除了住宅和小型办公单元之外。

Text description provided by the architects. The Hamburger Hof complex presents itself today as a terrain genuinely grown and constantly re-combined by means of residential and commercial buildings over the last 200 year. First documented in 1828, the front building was complemented over and over by additions on the courtyard side, establishing both small trade businesses as well as places of entertainment such as a bowling house. A bronze casting house, a coffee roastery, a brewery, locksmith and carpentry workshops, and various restaurants and bars were located here during the last two centuries, an addition to residential and small office units.

这位客户在2006年以异构的现有开发方式购得这套房产时，很喜欢继续这种手工艺、文化和住房的组合。与戒备保护当局密切合作，制定了一个翻新和扩建概念，仅从1960年代移除两个小棚子。慷慨的玻璃阁楼被明智地增加，部分恢复了第二次世界大战期间被摧毁的屋顶下垂的体积。唯一一个全新的建筑是一座五层楼的建筑，紧靠着一堵现有的防火墙。

The client was fond of the idea to continue this mix of crafts, culture and housing when he acquired the property with the heterogeneous existing development in 2006. In close collaboration with the alert preservation authorities a renovation and expansion concept was developed solely removing two small sheds from the 1960ies. Generously glazed attics were sensibly added, partly resuming again the droop volume of the roofs that had been destroyed during World War II. The only completely new building within the ensemble is a five-story construction abutting an existing fire wall.

在顶楼，它延伸到邻近的公园，而在附近砖房的角落，在尊重的距离上移动到旧咖啡烘焙室。建筑群上层的新洞口为这座“袖珍公园”和周围的房屋提供了壮观的景观，而历史悠久的庭院则由新的布局改造而成，这种布局明确地体现了现代材料和形状，但保留了它作为半私人空间的复古风格。

On the top floor it protrudes widely into the retral adjacent park, while at the corner of the neighboring brick house shifting onto the old coffee roastery in respectful distance. New fenestrations on the upper floors of the complex offer spectacular views onto this "pocket park" and the surrounding houses, while the historic courtyard is recast by the new layout explicitly implementing modern materials and shapes and yet retaining its vintage character as a semi-private space.
