The building group project on hand has 24 units for living and working. It is situated on a 1400 sqm big corner site in Berlin-Neukölln which its plot border to the southern S-bahn-Ring.

The “Ausbauhaus–concept” allows it to offer spacious living for prices of a social housing (KG 300+400 from 1.020 € / sqm, depending on the finished interior standard).

The special feature is the fact that the owner / client is given the choice between different finishes levels, such as “standard loft“, “standard apartment“ or “take-over shell for self-finishing“. Thus the “Ausbauhaus“ can be developed bespokely economically, to the desired level of detail and budget. The building has a north-south orientation. All units are distinguished by a ceiling height of 3 metres and a spacious loggia towards the south, which extends the living space over its whole length towards the exterior space.

In keeping in line with the concept of the “Ausbauhaus“, the structural concept is based on a simple shelving system. This system enables the economical and time-saving realisation using pre construction. Through the disconnection between the floor plan and the supporting structure plus the flexible perforated facade, various floor plan variations can be implemented without having to engage in the overall structure of the building. A subsequent conversion of the units remains as easy as possible.
