Combining the most diverse areas and demands of life

The campus on Mittelweg, a business-oriented area, marks the western entrance to the district. The three new buildings and a historic villa screen the Sophienterrassen from the outside world, while also forming a small, inviting square that connects the area harmoniously to the neighbouring buildings.

With generously sized living areas, every resident of the Sophienterrassen will find the privacy they need. Private outdoor space is also available in the form of gardens with terraces, balconies, loggias and roof terraces. At the same time, residents can chat with neighbours in the park or meet friends in the Sophienpalais lounge.

From the townhouses and SOPHIE in the more urban part of the Sophienterrassen to the park and Alster villas, the Sophienterrassen span a wide range of different forms of living. The Sophienpalais, too, appears more urban in some places and closer to nature in others. Its listed part still presents a stately, closed face to the outside world, but on the garden side its design and its balconies and roof terraces open it up to the park.

The planning of the outdoor areas also follows the principle ‘from the city into nature’: in the west, the gardens still deliberately show the human hand, while the park areas follow the idea of the English landscape park and merge visually with the Alsterpark.

As the oldest building in the Sophienterrassen, the Villa Harmonie on Mittelweg takes you on a journey through the eras of Harvestehude. Of the Sophienpalais, dating from the 1930s, only the listed façade and the basic structure were retained; the interior was thoroughly revitalised to enable living at the highest level.

All the other buildings, in turn, take up traditional forms of living and reinterpret them: the townhouses, the park and Alster villas, whose original form can still be found in many places in Harvestehude, and the residences in SOPHIE and the Sophienpalais, which are modelled on the elegant upper-class apartment buildings of Harvestehude.

Comfortable living has many names at the Sophienterrassen and is everywhere in evidence. For example, in the communal facilities for residents of the Sophienpalais, such as the lounge, the wellness and fitness area or the reception, where an in-house concierge is on duty. However, residents in the other buildings of the Sophienterrassen do not have to go without the services of a doorman either.

Yet comfort already begins with generously sized parking spaces in bright underground car parks, which allow access to your own four walls without being exposed to the weather. At the same time, the underground car parks make a car-free neighbourhood possible – an absolute plus in terms of quality of life. In addition to a discreet security concept, many other details ensure a feeling of security and well-being.
