The residential development consists of three new buildings with five storeys, as well as a historic existing building called “Werfthaus”. Werfthaus comprises a lower sections with two storeys, as well as a higher part with 4 storeys. First set up as a part of a brewery the old brick building was later converted into a boat store. The new buildings comply with the German high energy-efficient standard KfW-55.
The new buildings have half underground garages with a total of 59 car parking spaces. Two of the houses are connected via this raised plinth, the third house is freestanding with a separate plinth facing the river Dahme.
The raised plinth provide the ground-floor flats with private gardens that face a courtyard. Almost all flats have terraces, balconies or gardens.
The street-facing facades of the new buildings have a render finish, while the courtyard-facing facades of House 1 and House 2 will have a timber rainscreen cladding which is in harmony with the planting in the courtyard.
The windows are mainly floor-to-ceiling. House 3 on the bank side also has so-called “seat windows”. Facing the street buildings 1 and 2 have pitched roofs in the form of mansard gable roofs. On the courtyard side, the 4th floor is staggered back and has generous roof terraces. House 3 has an extensive green roof with terraces in the form of roof cutouts.
The residential development is oriented around an inner courtyard, which through its planting conveys a sense of tranquillity and closeness to nature. The open spaces will be planted islands of trees, wildflower meadows and grasses, and equipped with playground features made from timber and hammocks.
