Structural elements give the house its historic charm. The grey-blue color scheme gives the façade a classic, timeless look, allowing the house to blend in perfectly with its surroundings. The façade in the green inner courtyard has a completely different effect: with its contemporary style and a structure that invites you to look at it, it looks modern from the ground up. An oasis in the middle of the city opens up from the courtyard passageway: the inner courtyard. It is exceptionally green and at the same time functional thanks to the planning. Bicycle parking spaces disappear underground under a planted hill that invites people to play and linger. The apartments on the first floor have their own terraces, perfect for relaxing. All terraces are separated from the communal green areas by clever design. A water feature gives the courtyard additional freshness. The interior concept opens up the floor plans into sought-after, loft-like apartments. Bathrooms zone the flowing living spaces and are largely designed as modern, furniture-like cubes, some with kitchens. The cube elements deliberately set themselves apart from the existing building with their modern design and material language. The modern roof made of folded metal façade respectfully complements the historic building. The green-framed terraces offer views over the whole of Berlin – large windows allow light-flooded rooms.
