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. Their elaborate design and high-quality materials give the entire block a completely new quality and dynamism.
In house 44 an Apple megastore opened. 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.
To absorb rainwater and provide a habitat for insects and birds, all roofs, including waste areas, are greened. The landscaped inner courtyard has a 200-sqm children's playground and numerous parking spaces for bicycles.
