The Housing project Prinzenallee 35 is located in the district Berlin-Mitte. The narrow plot (106m x 11,3m) extends deep into the Wilhelminian style urban fabric.
The new building fills a gap and completes the streetline of 19th century facades with its adapted contemporary infill. The 6-storey building houses 13 residential units, ranging from studios to three bedroom flats. At ground floor, a commercial unit features a large window display to the street side.
All residential flats are very effectively laid out with an open plan kitchen and living area. Large windows facing the garden extend the interior via balconies and terraces and contribute successfully to an airy spacial experience.
The green backyard of the site accommodates a separate building: two-back to-back semidetached houses, which both benefit from a private garden.
The commonly used courtyard was designed by Herrburg Landschaftsarchitekten. The lush green integrates a children's playground. A timber seating area invites residents to meet.
