DGB – BERLIN
The approx. 3,615 m² large property was built on with an existing building from 1964 by Otto Wunsch, Gustav Gleichmann and Dieter Krüger. The existing building was demolished. The new building will be a striking structure that completes the traditional city block at the corner of Kleiststrasse and Keithstrasse.
“The new building will become a finely structured ensemble with different heights and references. The building parts create a striking structure and appear together as one.”
Three building sections are created, which are connected by a large-volume, fully glazed foyer. The lateral building parts in Kleiststrasse and Keithstrasse take over the eaves heights of the location-typical neighboring buildings. A high-rise building with a height of approx. 52 meters will be positioned in the context of the other stand-alone buildings at the intersection of the former planned city highway (Lietzenburger Strasse/An der Urania). The office building will provide space for a total of 380 employees of the DGB and other tenants on approx. 22,000 m² of gross floor area (above ground). In addition to the offices, there will be multifunctional event rooms and, with the foyer, an open space for meetings.
