Patzschke Architects contributed a seven-storey corner building and a narrow townhouse to this ensemble comprising 11 buildings situated next to the Friedrichswerder Church in the historical heart of the city. The importance of the location in terms of urban planning led to the belief that only a contemporary design firmly grounded in classical and traditional principles and practices would be able to meet the requirements. The master planning was provided by NPS.

Spread out over 7 floors above ground, the townhouse was conceived for the use of a single occupant. Above the two-storey, travertine-clad base floor comes a light-coloured triaxial plaster facade. The asymmetrically positioned and setback entrance area is emphasized and superelevated by two loggias. The final three-centered arch draws inspiration from a window motif belonging to the depot of the Berlin State Opera. A further storey with arched windows is framed between a secondary cornice and the main eaves cornice. A staggered floor is hidden behind a balustrade.

A piece of Berlin's identity was restored by drawing on traditional constructional design features in a historically significant location. Close-up and detailed images illustrate the contemporary interpretation of traditional forms. The profiles are angular and rigorous, straightforward without embellishments and thoroughly modern in character.
