Near Alexanderplatz, an office world is being created that transfers the urban character of the location into an inspiring working environment. A multitude of office boxes condense into a cluster of different spatial references.
Project:
Voltair
Year:
2014 – 2023
Location:
Berlin, Germany
VOLTAIR is a conceptual fusion of office spaces, innovative co-working areas, and communicating meeting zones. The project reflects individual working clusters as flexible spatial units. On the ground floor, the building opens up towards the streets and towards the inner courtyard designed with trees and sitting areas.The volume of the new building is divided into several cubes according to its differentiated use. The design is characterized by the horizontal glazed gap, which runs across the building like a stress fissure. In this intermediate space, located at the level of the light rail viaduct, the creative energy radiates into the urban space and networking becomes an event. The ground floor houses commercial areas, gastronomy and green spaces, which complement a contemporary working environment.
