photographed by cristóbal palma, the building is clad with dark timber boards that enclose a series of private spaces and direct views towards the crashing waves.
the main feature of the design is the huge kitchen, dining and living space that opens out to the pool and the horizon beyond.
the house consists of three separate brick volumes set above a continuous living space on the ground floor.
the renovation preserves the original masonry façade but carves out a new world inside, one which prioritizes light, space and openness.
For me, the best part is the roof level. Those rounded columns and curves act as giant apertures, framing the sky and site beautifully.
The multi-tiered green skirt is a bit questionable but those altering concrete arches really do amazing things for the interior space.

Their “Design Strategy” is typical competition-entry BS. A real eyesore when viewed from the river bank as the most prominent aspect is the servicing on top of the building – which appears to be an afterthought and not part of the design process actually. It is just one of a spate of buildings planned for the Spree as part of the Media Spree development.
Nicht gerade überzeugend!!
