Commenting on the concept, Alexandre Rombourg, HHLA's architect, said: “A lounge is planned for the upper floor, where guests and employees of MSC Germany can enjoy the special atmosphere of the former warehouse. The space is open all the way up to the bottom of the gable so that the new skylights naturally illuminate the room.” MSC Germany has been based in the Asia House in Hamburg's Old Town since 1988. The company decided to relocate to new offices in the Speicherstadt to live up to the group’s constant growth and to offer employees a state-of-the-art working environment. Nils Kahn, Managing Director of MSC Germany, said: “By moving offices, we are combining the Speicherstadt’s maritime tradition with the innovative possibilities of a modern and open working space."
