The Roebbek

In the historic centre of Groß Flottbek, a new building has been constructed on the site of a former school, which blends harmoniously into the listed brick ensemble of the old school buildings. The project comprises eight high-quality furnished micro townhouses as boarding houses as well as a café/restaurant open to the public.

Each unit of the boarding house has a separate entrance, accessed via a wraparound terrace. The ground floor has a bathroom, kitchenette and living area, while the bedroom is located in the converted attic. All flats are air-conditioned. The offer is complemented by a fitness area in the basement.

The architectural concept combines classic Hanseatic architecture with modern elements and places particular emphasis on sustainable materials and durable workmanship.

A key aspect of the project is the integration of renewable energies: Hot water is provided by a heat pump, and the south-facing roof is also equipped with photovoltaic systems.

WBRE took on the role of property developer for this project – from development to turnkey realisation – and was also responsible for the subsequent sale.
