ArchitectureThe architecture shows the structures and materials of the original work equipment, and combines them with modern furniture and design forms. The fact that a living space could even be created in the former engine room of the harbor crane is an architectural feature. During the refurbishment, many historical materials and details have been refurbished and reused, which was implemented by the traditional shipyard Behrenswerft from Finkenwerder, which specializes in the restoration of historic service vessels. Even in the outdoor area was trying not to change too much. There was a terrace, which is located in front of the engine room and from which one has an excellent view of the Elbe. Another change was made in the bow: There was a bar made of 100-year-old ship shelters, at which an Astra can be drunk during events or the harbor birthday.

FoodThe harbor crane serves a generous breakfast prepared by a housekeeper and delivered in a basket. All products come from a health food store in HafenCity and are delivered in mason jars to avoid unnecessary waste. Breakfast adapts to the season: Matjes has fresh matjes, seasonal fruits and juices in summer, and smoked fish in winter. The breakfast basket can also be ordered as a vegetarian or vegan option. As a welcome, the guests can also expect a HafenCity Gin, which was distilled with the spices of the Speicherstadt. Anyone who enjoys this on the terrace of the harbor crane, relaxes and dreams a little, may be able to experience the smells and sounds of spice deliveries to the Speicherstadt.

SocialThe housekeeper and the boatswain work at the most beautiful workplace in the world and they look after guests who are looking forward to their stay and therefore almost always in the best of moods, refer to the crane. The port crane sells books by his friend Freddy Fischer, whose children's foundation finances wonderful projects from the proceeds. Almost every guest takes such a book for a donation.

EnvironmentThe intention of the harbor crane was to create something in which people can feel good and leave their everyday life behind, in an individual and extraordinary way. Above all, the old harbor crane should not simply be scrapped, so that more waste is created - through the restoration could be prevented and something unique has emerged. The port crane is powered by green electricity, during the conversion it was connected with elaborate connecting constructions to the media running in the pontoon. In addition, the garbage is separated, the espresso machine runs with beans instead of aluminum capsules, shower gel and soap come from the dispenser and not from individual packaging.

Well-BeingThe shower area, also known as the Magic Shower, is something very special: a double rain shower patters into the surprisingly large shower area, which also contains a fireplace. The Magic Shower also contains a meteor stone that you can sit on while the water gurgles you down and enjoys the view of the Elbphilharmonie.
