Hanging Gardens for Berlin
High-quality housing especially in the densely populated urban context is developed in the end only in combination with multifaceted open space planning. The architectural formulation of the concept results in an evocative building cubature, which, on account of its scale, merges simultaneously and naturally with the surroundings. The tiered structure supports the development of expansive open spaces. Each apartment is given its own directly accessible “hanging garden”. “This unique architecture has engendered a new type of building which in a very special way promotes clear identification and prestige value. … As a whole, the work is an exceptionally innovative and fascinating contribution to the creation of new qualities in inner-city housing.” (Excerpt from the minutes of the jury)
