Tradition reinterpreted

Only approx. 3 km away from the historical Berlin city centre is the "Alter Schlachthof", which is located at the intersection of the three most densely populated districts of Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain and Lichtenberg. Since the mid-90s, modern town houses, condominiums and spacious lofts have been emerging in the developments around the Alter Schlachthof. A new city-centre residential ensemble is evolving here. Many families and young people welcome the urban flair and the new parks and areas of greenery that have appeared in the middle of the city.

In order to realise this ambitious goal, a competition was carried out with 5 renowned architectural firms. In the presence of a panel which also included representatives from the Senate of Berlin and officials from the locality, two winners were selected unanimously. The architectural firm KEC Planungsgesellschaft mbHand Nöfer Architekten. Both architectural firms chose entirely different approaches to the historical cowsheds and their magnificent gables.
