ROCKET TOWER – BERLIN
Conversion of the former GSW high-rise buildings at Charlottenstrasse 4 in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The building complex consists of a 17-story tower high-rise from the 1960s and a base building with a front-mounted, 21-story high-rise slab from the 1990s designed by the architects Sauerbruch/Hutton, Berlin.
“You have to decide on priority in terms of cost, deadlines and quality.”
The subject of the conversion project was the tower building and the slab; parts of the building had to remain in operation during the construction work. The buildings were technically brought into a contemporary condition and modernized with regard to the needs of a single-tenant with predominantly open-plan offices.
