FRIEDENAUER HÖHE BERLIN 2025 — The new commercial building on Innsbrucker Platz is a hybrid, part of the large Innsbrucker Platz and the landmarks along the main city street, while also the start and finish of the large new urban configuration of the Friedenauer Höhe.

Crossing over to the light railway station, a narrow façade facing Innsbrucker Platz establishes the house as part of the square. With a free-standing “tower addition” that clarifies its location along the axis of the main road, it is both a complementary element of the urban landscape and an autonomous building sculpture. The simple volumes of the north façade react to the current urban border to the traffic arteries, while the south side reveals itself as a finely differentiated, terraced urban form.
