The property Rückerstraße 6 was developed within the scope of a larger project together with the properties Lininestraße 216 and 217 and is located in the historical borough Spandauer Vorstadt in the district Mitte. On the 2.400 sq m large plot, three buildings, one building in the court and a common underground garage with 43 carports were constructed. The grounds in the courtyard are available for the community as a protected garden and open space with approximately 200 sq m playing area. The corner house is a apartment construction on six floors with altogehter 18 apartments and two trade units on the ground floor. The building receives it’s special imprint through the intermediation of two different connections to the adjacent buildings. Beginning with the connection to a three storey tenement from the baroque period, the building scales upward along the street corner to reach the hight oft the typical city block with six storeys. Sharply outlined the facades emphasize the plasticity of the cubature along the street side with a light stone facade in Jura limestone swaying around the corner with horizontal segmentation by mouldings. Shutters connect through their structure with the stone areas inbetween the windows and dissolve the contrast between open and closed towards an overall texture. The facade materials interweave through the colour design to a fine steched relievo.
