Architectural unicum by Frei Otto
This penthouse, unique in the truest sense of the word, is located in the triangle between the Tiergarten, the zoological garden and the Landwehrkanal, where in summer you can look out from the spacious terrace at the passing boats and hear the animals of the zoo in the background. Surrounded by trees, you live in the middle of the big city. From this green oasis, the Ku'damm with its many multi-faceted shopping opportunities, cafés and restaurants, as well as the Bikini-Haus Berlin and the KaDeWe department store are only a few minutes' walk away. A tree house in the city, an ecological monument, an absolute solitaire in the middle of the most pulsating of all European cities - here you are offered everything.
Is part of a unique architectural project in one of the most attractive residential locations in Berlin, built as part of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) from 1984 to 1987 in one of the most attractive inner-city residential locations in Berlin. The structural and utility infrastructure of the entire complex was designed by Frei Otto, one of the most important representatives of "biomorphic architecture" (= organic architecture).
The complex, which consists of several maisonettes, is a world-renowned architectural monument and at the same time an outstanding example of the optimal use of scarce inner-city building land while taking ecological and biological building criteria into account. Groundbreaking and promising for the future - A property for connoisseurs!
Numerous exits in the form of balconies and green roofs allow the house to merge completely with its surroundings.
The entrance to the house leads through a "small forest" surrounded by trees, giving you the feeling of living in a treetop. You live in the middle of the city in green surroundings, with the zoo around you, and yet you can gaze at Berlin's famous Statue of Liberty, the "Goldelse", from your bed through the bathroom window.
