Redevelopment and modernisation of 2 neighbouring apartment blocks

Berlin, Neue Bahnhofstraße
Client: Eireann Grundstücks-GmbH
Dates: 2006-2008
Size: 2,400 m² in 31 units and 3 commercial units
Description: Partial demolition, lowering of the rear wing by 2 floors; complete renovation and remodelling of two adjacent apartment blocks; redesign of the courtyard. All consultancy services as general planner
   
   
   

 

An irish investor acquired two adjacent vacant apartment buildings in a designated area. The buildings and with their courtyard annexes were in very poor condition with high levels of dry rot, fire damage and general vandalism. RBA were tasked as general planner to provide all necessary consultancy services including H&S co-ordinator, landscape design, architectural services, M&E planning and structural engineering.

A feature of this project was the partial demolition and lowering of the rear annexes which was paid for by the local authority from monies designated for improvement of the quality of residential accommodation in the designated area. Further challenges included the treatment and removal of severe dry rot and contamination due to carcinogenic wood preservatives. The complex was almost fully let shortly after completion.
