DANIEL LIBESKIND, housing in Berlin / Germany

73 one- to four-bedroom apartments in the center of the city negotiating Berlins’ zoning code with varied setbacks, angular windows, and canted walls. zoning regulations affected massing strategy - the required setback from the centerline of the street is minimum 0.4 times the building height, a rule that works to limit the height of the building. this introduced the need for a parapet configuration to allow for a primary street front volume and secondary taller penthouse volume.

the building envelope subtly pulls away from the primary facade, creating intimate outdoor balcony nooks to enhance the quality of the units.
