Apartment building, Berlin-Schöneberg, Germany. The Schöneberg Lens is an exciting urban development project in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district of Berlin, located between Südkreuz station and Schöneberg S-Bahn station. The area is being transformed into an urban quarter with a mix of residential and commercial spaces. The development will include both rental and owner-occupied apartments, office space, a hotel, a daycare center, and a café. A modern transportation concept and a sustainable energy supply are key components of the project. The building aims for KfW 55 efficiency standards and will feature a combined heat and power plant. Public spaces are being redesigned to create a pedestrian-friendly environment. Tree-lined avenues and public squares will contribute to the distinct character of the new quarter. The location boasts excellent public transportation connections, with bus, S-Bahn, and U-Bahn lines in the immediate vicinity. Many of the apartments will be barrier-free and will feature modern amenities such as underfloor heating and balconies or terraces. View project
Pontsteiger Amsterdam: The facade was constructed from precast concrete elements. Thanks to prefabrication, one floor could be completed per week. Hand-glazed thin brick with a textured surface, in WDF format, are embedded in the concrete elements in alternating vertical and horizontal stacked patterns. The chameleon-like green and bronze tones of the thin brick create a facade that changes with the light and time of day, just like the surface of the water surrounding the building. View project
