Property development group Euroboden is building
a unique apartment house at Johannisstraße in Mitte, Berlin's downtown
district. J. MAYER H. architects’ design for the building, which will soon
neighbor both Museum Island and Friedrichstrasse, reinterprets the classic
Berliner Wohnhaus with its multi-unit structure and green interior courtyard. A
suspended lamella facade not only provides privacy but also draws historical
reference to the elaborately decorated facades from the Wilhelminian period.
Plans for the ground floor facing the street also include a number of
commercial spaces. The generously sized apartments will face south-west,
opening themselves to a view of the calm, carefully designed courtyard garden.
Spacious, breezy transitions to the outside create an open residential
experience in the middle of the city that, thanks to the variable heights of
the different building levels, also offers an interesting succession of rooms.
The units’ varying floorplans and layouts indicate a number of housing options;
condominiums are organized into townhouses with private gardens, classic apartments
or penthouses with a spectacular view of the old Friedrichstadt. The integrated
design concept, which incorporates everything from façade to stairwells,
elevators to apartment interiors, promises a unique spatial and living
experience with an eye to high design.
