Commercial Property Stellinger Höfe

Various shops are now located on the Stellinger Höfe site on Kieler Straße in Hamburg, Germany, for serving local people. The former tram depot has undergone extensive renovation and has been extended with new buildings. heroal Project Service was involved in this new building project, supporting the engineering company Mennerich – heroal helped in planning the systems installed and preparing the service specifications, for example. heroal also assisted the fabricator Hilgefort & Götting Metall- und Fensterbau in quotation pricing.

The Stellinger Höfe complex consists of a total of eight buildings or parts of buildings, some of which are connected to each other. The popular shopping, sports and leisure location was acquired by an investor in 2015 and has now been comprehensively renovated and extended. Two new buildings were equipped with heroal systems. Among other systems, the curtain wall system heroal C 50, the window system heroal W 72 i, the project door system heroal D 72 as well as the sun protection system heroal VS Z were installed.

With their combination of masonry and steelwork, the two new buildings are reminiscent of the old times, when the site was used as a railway and tram depot. Now it is used for commercial and office properties, the combination blends perfectly with the surroundings in the immediate vicinity of the German rail freight line. The heroal aluminium systems match the architects‘ concept perfectly: A fine reproduction of the desired steel look, thanks to the wide range of colours including more than 500 RAL, DB and VEKA shades. For a perfectly colour-coordinated look, all the heroal systems installed were coated with the highly weather resistant heroal hwr powder coating in the colour black grey metallic with fine structure (heroal colour code: 0794). The chosen colour works well with the brick façade, creating an industrial look and harmonious appearance of the entire building shell.

To ensure a smooth coordination during the project planning phase, heroal Project Service supported the architects with individual design ideas and created the service specifications using standard tender texts, for example.

As the heroal Project Service employees know the capacities and competences of the heroal fabricators, they were able to assist in a timely and fair placement of orders. Thanks to the digitally provided material calculation, potential fabricators were able to import the data directly into their calculation software, prepare an estimate without much effort and submit an offer promptly. In the end, the contract was awarded to the company Hilgefort & Götting Metall- und Fensterbau GmbH.

“Our support with quotation pricing accelerates and simplifies the quotation process enormously. Thanks to the precise planning in advance, and a detailed material list, the quotations submitted by the fabricators include all required materials. This means all quotations can be perfectly compared with each other with no recalculations necessary,“ says Ronny Symannek, Head of Project Service & Quotation Centre at heroal.

The buildings offer space for three supermarkets and a bakery, among other facilities. The front of one supermarket consists of a large glass façade, which creates a bright, transparent and welcoming retail area. heroal Project Service provided the static pre-dimensioning for the mullion-transom curtain wall heroal C 50 installed, determined the design depths of the curtain wall profiles and used these for the construction drawing that was then submitted as a design proposal. Thanks to the modular system design of the curtain wall heroal C 50, the profiles have a uniform face width of 50 cm, independent of the design depths. As a result, the entire building is in harmony – even with different requirements on thermal insulation and fire protection.

The mullion-transom curtain wall heroal C 50 has also been used for additional parts of the project, and then further equipped with insert elements, such as the block window system heroal W 72 i and the commercial door system heroal D 72, as well as the curtain wall canopy heroal C 50 TC.

As a protection against direct sunlight, the sun protection system heroal VS Z has been installed, this time as a partly integrated variant. Whereas the panel boxes are integrated in the brickwork and invisible from the outside, the visible guide rails, end strips and textile screens are colour-coordinated with the curtain wall system heroal C 50. The sun protection system heroal VS Z is also suited for shading large glass surfaces, offering ideal protection against glaring light, prying eyes and UV radiation, while at the same time providing for the required stability in strong winds. During the hot summer months, heroal VS Z prevents the buildings from heating up, and has a positive impact on the energy balance.

“heroal Project Service also made a significant contribution to ensuring that the building project ran smoothly during every project phase, and helped it to be carried out in an efficient way. We do not only support the architects, fabricators and builders involved in a project, but also see ourselves as a network connecting the individual parties. By providing personal advice at all times and supporting the individual project phase, we are able to react to every situation and find perfect solutions for every building project – no matter whether the projects require standard or special solutions,“ summarises Ronny Symannek the tasks of heroal Project Service.
