Elbe Philharmonic Hall, Hamburg, Germany

Pearl of the North: A synthesis of architecture, music and the unique location in the middle of Hamburg's harbor: the Elbe Philharmonic Hall, finished in 2017. A striking feature is the towering, glass wave crest. Under this roof, one of the world's best concert halls, a luxury hotel and high-end condominiums have been built. The curved glass panels of the facade reflect the colors of the sky and the water.
