Trend Hunter has seen its fair share of [liquidized, melting, watery creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ellipsis-cafe-bar), but never would I have expected to translate into the [architectural sphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergen-building) like the Steckelhorn 11 building. Located in the old center of Hamburg, this innovative structure brings an artistic and even futuristic feel to the otherwise monotonous area.

Designed by J. Mayer H., the Steckelhorn 11 is part of the initiative to renovate this [historic area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fenix-museum-of-migration). A fantastic addition, check out the gallery to also glimpse its interior.
