Prinzessinnenstrasse Berlin

The building complex, which includes offices and a boardinghouse, is located in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, near Moritzplatz. The three blocks with different functions are arranged in a horseshoe configuration and blend into the dense inner city’s structural layout. The front building section on bustling Prinzessinnenstrasse serves as a foyer for the office building facing the courtyard and shields it against street noise. The two office blocks share a multifunctional space on the first floor which, thanks to movable walls, can be used as a conference room, co-working space, or even for major events. A direct passage from the street to the courtyard provides a separate access point to the boardinghouse, which is the third building volume and accommodates thirty furnished micro-apartments for long- and short-term stays. Thanks to the materials used – and especially the exposed concrete with its structural logic – the new construction aligns itself with the commercial parks and their workshop character, which are still defining their surroundings today.
