Last but not least – SOPHIE

The urban keystone of the Sophienterrassen quarter also brings its name full circle. SOPHIE – from the Greek σοφία (‘wisdom’) – presents herself here as timeless and, naturally, stylistically free from fashions.

The noble restraint is not an affectation, but an elegance that arises from classic lines and Hanseatic awareness. Here, architect Mirjana Markovic created her last work, which pays homage to this location.

With a keen eye for the small details and the courage for a clear design language. Or, quite simply, as described in Goethe's Faust: ‘the last word of wisdom’.

FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION

A great piece of Hamburg

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the transformation of a former military site into an elegant residential area also had to be tackled stage by stage. An important milestone was the purchase of the property by Frankonia Eurobau AG in 2006. But there were also significant events, both large and small, before and after that. They range from noise-related expert opinions to the engagement of Karl Lagerfeld. In their chronological order, they provide a chronicle of a neighbourhood.

SOPHIE at the Sophienterrassen

The urban keystone

With SOPHIE at Harvestehuder Stieg 24A, the Sophienterrassen reach their spectacular finale. With 25 apartments of widely varying sizes, a residence with a large roof terrace and two penthouses, this building is not only the last in the quarter. It is also the last work by the exceptional Hamburg architect Mirjana Markovic and could already be described today as a landmark of tomorrow.
