Hotel and Residences Berlin

Waterfront living is one of the ensemble’s quality characteristics, allowing its scale model structure and moderate height to blend into the city silhouette and incorporate the Spree in the concept.

A new promenade offers lots of space for strolling and activities. Alternative ideas were examined to define the ideal arrangement of the ensemble while taking into account the urban surroundings. Alignment towards the position of the sun and wind is one of the features that have been incorporated into the sustainability strategy.

The exact location of the buildings was determined based on the position of the sun during the course of the year. Thus the apartments in the two residential buildings, in particular, are perfectly oriented towards the sun. Due to the location of the site, apartments are also partly oriented towards the north-east and benefit from a view of the Spree.

The flats are designed in such a way that the desired mix of differentiated storey-compartments can be represented. The ground plans have been developed to reflect the different sizes of the flats. The fact that spatial units can be switched around also means that flats of other sizes can be flexibly portrayed.
