Renovation Berliner Volksbank

The aim of the design is to optimize the existing building from a technical and organizational point of view in accordance with the call for tenders; to expand it and, in addition, to strengthen it as regards urban planning by distinguishing it from the residential buildings.

The structure will be structurally amended to form an elegant and dynamic lens, which will have a more emphatic presence and will open up more diverse perspectives at this elevated urban planning position, both at a distance and from close up.

A new façade eliminates the previous natural stone heaviness and accents the curve's curvature by overlaying filigree horizontal and vertical line progressions.
