Light Industrial & Logistics
BROOKKAMP
This innovative light industrial & logistics park was created during the remodeling and upgrading of a complex in Billbrook industrial zone in Hamburg. The new structure presents itself as the architectural antithesis to standard industrial buildings by, for example, using timber as a building material.
Billbrook, Hamburg’s largest industrial zone, was scheduled to become the home to an innovative light industrial & logistics park that should not only provide the required rental space but also remodel and upgrade the entire complex. One objective of the architectural project was to differentiate itself from the monotonous mass of the surrounding industrial buildings and to employ high-quality solutions in order to create a USP for Billbrook.
ATP architects engineers was commissioned by INBRIGHT Development GmbH to integrally design two halls with the associated office areas and a parking garage for employees. One special task for the design team was to reorganize the circulation of car and trucks within the tight space available while introducing a one-way system for freight traffic.
Not a standard industrial building
With its high-quality materials, BROOKKAMP makes a confident statement of its own. The facade of anthracite-colored panels with timber elements lends the new building a timelessly elegant appearance. Inside the complex, timber ensures a high quality of user experience and a warm atmosphere.
BROOKKAMP is an unconventional light industrial & logistics park and is notable for its external appearance. The use of timber as a building material not only makes the new building more sustainable, but also creates a pleasant interior climate for the users.

Objective: high flexibility and maximum efficiency
We solved the challenges posed by the different uses of the halls – logistics and light industrial – and the requirement for high flexibility by creating different building heights and building services concepts. We optimized the use of the site by placing the docking bays for the trucks below the mezzanine containing the office and social spaces. Both halls also have ground level delivery areas for sprinter traffic.
Green building
The use of the regenerative building material wood, an energy-efficient building services concept with heat pumps and PV plant, and the partial planting of the roofs contribute to the sustainable quality of the building. The halls are designed in line with the “Efficient Building 40” standard and both are seeking DGNB Gold certification.
