david chipperfield masterplans the rebuilding of berlin's bötzow brewery
situated within walking distance of berlin’s alexanderplatz, the bötzow brewery was severely damaged during the second world war, and hasn’t been rebuilt since. british architect david chipperfield has been commissioned to masterplan the existing site, which incorporates a public beer garden amid a series of industrial buildings. the project seeks to create a new identity for the 24,000 square meter site, transforming bötzow berlin into a new public destination within the city.

as part of the development, existing buildings will be restored with three new volumes extending the ensemble. the site presents itself to the city with a spacious and inviting beer garden, while an adjacent public square provides access to each area of the complex. around 6,000 square meters of historic vaults form the foundations of the site. these will be linked at selected points with the above ground world, while the mysterious atmosphere of the subterranean vaults remains preserved.

the scheme will also be home to the ottobock future lab, an innovation center that forms an important component of the program, becoming a central address on the bötzow site. the development will also house artisan food manufacturers, restaurants, a swimming club, a boutique hotel and a gallery, as well as underground parking spaces. the project is scheduled to be complete by 2019.
