On a small plot with a possible building foot print of 9 of 13 meters House G was constructed as a head of an old Berlin perimeter block development. The layout of the flats followed the spatial restriction and the individual requests. Three different flat types were developed with a minimum of vertical circulation on seven floors: a garden-maisonette, three flats and a penthouse-maisonette. Every flat is related to at least one private exterior space: roof terrace, south balcony and garden. A wooden structure which contains space for bikes and storage serves as blinds and locates the main building in the environment. A green roof and the spatial and energy efficiency (kfw 55) contribute to a sustainable urban redensification.

The split-level layout of the first floors brings the desired spaciousness. Amply steps create a spatial connection between living area and kitchen and invite for seating and playing. Rough concrete and lubricated oak combined with warm colours emboss the atmosphere of the flat.

Main detail of the façade are the big flush-mounted windows with an anodized aluminium frame. The precision of the windows contracts to the rough broom finish of the plaster. The structuring of the plaster interrupts the monotony of the plaster surface and underlines the figure of the volume.
