Darling Reinickendorf

Condominiums in modular timber construction, Berlin

Darling Reinickendorf is like Reinickendorf itself: an original that claims its place in the neighbourhood, that stands out but is also part of it, that polarises but will be loved by those who inhabit it for its distinctiveness. The architecture is contemporary with a tongue-in-cheek reference to the modernism of the interwar period, which greatly shaped this area and Berlin as a whole.

The green colour of the façade, a shade used by Bruno Taut in many of his now listed buildings, conjures up a warm, appealing, inviting architecture in the often pale, cold light of Berlin. The same applies to the slats of the loggias, which also act as privacy screens and through which the sunlight is allowed to filter in. The building is designed as a prefabricated modular timber structure and thus presents itself to be sustainable and equipped for the future.
