The Scheunenviertel, part of the Spandauer Vorstadt district in Berlin-Mitte, is a trendy neighbourhood which is popular with the international fashion industry, mobile phone, electronics and IT companies, and creative start-ups and is known for its diverse range of restaurants and cultural offerings. At Rosenthaler Strasse 43-45, directly opposite the Art Nouveau ensemble of the Hackesche Höfe, a modern, three-part, new building has been erected using reinforced-concrete construction. It has seven storeys above ground, two basement levels, and a gross floor area of 15,000 sqm. It picks up on and complements the surrounding neighbourhood’s mix of residential, commercial, and office functions. The varied, detailed façades of the three buildings are a direct reference to the historical parcelling of the building site.

44 号建筑中设有一家巨大的苹果商店，于 2021 年 9 月开业。三栋建筑均在地下和首层设置了宽敞的零售空间。44 和 45 号建筑的商业单元上方为办公室和公寓，每间公寓的房型为一室到三室不等，面积在 40 到 100 平面之间。43 号建筑全部由办公和商业空间组成。六层退界形成了屋顶露台，通过无框玻璃板分隔。两座面向庭院的屋顶露台上还安装了爬满植物的藤架。

In house 44, an Apple megastore opened in December 2021. Each of the three buildings has generous retail spaces in its basement and on its ground floor. Above the commercial units in houses 44 and 45 are offices and one- to three-room apartments of between 40 and 100 sqm. House 43, on the other hand, is entirely given over to offices and commercial spaces. The set-back storey on the sixth floor has roof terraces that are separated from one other by frameless glass elements. The two courtyard-side roof terraces also feature green pergolas.

▼项目包括三栋里面不同的建筑，project consists of three buildings with different facades

不同的沿街立面赋予三个建筑单元不同的外观，并且区分了建筑的不同功能。另一方面，这样的设计在建筑上让新与旧融为了一体。相邻建筑的立面经过精心设计，使用高品质材料，为整个街区带来了全新的风貌和活力。

Their different street façades give the ensemble’s three building units the appearance of distinct and disconnected works of architecture. On the other hand, they blend in architecturally with the old and new façades of the adjacent buildings, and their elaborate design and high-quality materials give the entire block a completely new quality and dynamism.
