The apartment building is located in the central area of the inner-city district Berlin-Mitte, in a street that is characterised by many new constructions. Having two different façades, the house reinterprets the typology of the traditional Berlin
"Mietshaus" with a representative street façade and a reduced courtyard façade. The seven-floor building provides one single apartment unit of 110m² on each floor.
Unlike the new neighbouring constructions, the ground floor offers commercial or office use. The building was conceived as long-term sustainable and therefore realised according to the prognosticated energy standards of EnEv 2016. The aim was to combine the low energy-consumption with low-tech strategies and durable materials for insulation, avoiding commonly used plastic and fibre material.
