Hongkong Studios is a 400 m² event loft in Hamburg's HafenCity that can be hired for workshops, seminars, conferences, coaching sessions and team events for up to 80 people. It occupies the sixth floor of a former carpet warehouse at Hongkongstraße 3-5, close to the Elbe, and has operated as an event venue since 2014.
Seminars and company events
The loft is built around work formats. The central HONGKONG Studio covers about 230 m² and can be arranged in the layout a session needs: banquet tables for 40, a circle of chairs for 25, theater seating for 65 or a standing reception for 80. Up to five further breakout situations can be set up around it, so a plenary can split into small groups on the same floor. Presentation equipment includes four large flatscreens, some of them mobile, a short-throw digital projector, a projector with a 4.5 m screen, a small stage with television lighting, a professional sound system with wireless microphones and a multi-camera streaming setup. Flipcharts, pin boards, whiteboards and facilitation material are available. Fiber Wi-Fi covers the space.
The team also designs and runs formats of its own, among them CoResolve for conflict resolution among managers, ThinkCover for visualizing a project, ArtWorks as a painting team event, MusicWorks in which teams write a song and record it in the music studio, LEGO Serious Play and MindfulSafe on workplace safety. Trainers and coaches can be recommended from the operator's network.
Rooms and capacities
Three further rooms sit under the same roof. The Secret Lab is a separate meeting room for up to 12 people, with a large round table, an open living kitchen with a coffee machine, a 60-inch screen, two pin boards and a flipchart. It suits coaching and multi-day sessions. The Music Studio covers 60 m², is soundproofed and furnished with sofas and armchairs, and works for discussions, working sessions or a musical break. The yoga studio is available as a breakout space for a team day.
Catering
Catering is arranged by the operator with partner caterers and is vegetarian or vegan. Options run from breakfast, lunch and snack breaks to home-baked banana bread, cake, a lunch buffet, a five-course menu, family-style service, flying buffets and food stations. Service staff can be booked. The operator also advises on hotels and can handle print and merchandise for an event.
History and setting
The loft sits in the so-called Hongkong quarter of the HafenCity, less than 500 meters from the Überseequartier, near the Magdeburger Hafen and a short walk from the Maritime Museum. Guests climb a 1960s staircase before arriving in a colorful, living-room style space of design pieces and self-made furniture, which the owners run as a family team. A 3D tour is available on the website.
Getting there
The address is Hongkongstraße 3-5, 6th floor, 20457 Hamburg. The venue is in the HafenCity, on a side arm of the Elbe. Requests go through the form on the website or by contacting the managing director by email or phone, and the same contact person follows an event from first offer to delivery.
