Are we really to believe that this seven-story
apartment building is constructed of timber?
There is no indication of it on the exterior; the
rendered facade might very well be conceal-
ing reinforced-concrete walls. Timber con-
struction was the express wish of the clients,
a private initiative. But the architects felt that
the wood did not necessarily have to be visi-
ble: Firstly, they had difficulty accepting a tim-
ber facade amidst solid-masonry apartment
buildings dating back to the late nineteenth
century, and secondly, from a fire-protection
perspective, flame-retardant exterior surfaces
would have obvious advantages. By taking a
closer look, one will see that the rendered fa-
cade does in fact have a relationship to the
structural system: Different textures in the ren-
dering trace the timber frame and the infill.
A timber structure right in the middle of Pren-
zlauer Berg on top of that, in the dense ur-
ban fabric is in any event something out of
the ordinary and not permissible by the build-
ing code at this height. With an elaborate fire-
protection concept followed by a lengthy
negotiation phase the architects were ulti-
mately able to convince the authorities of the
projects practicability. The free-standing, un-
enclosed concrete stairway turned out to be a
decided advantage, because it constitutes a
readily accessible, smoke-free escape route
(see p. 1304ff.). But the decision to set the
stairway apart from the apartment building
had not originated as part of the fire-protec-
tion engineering, but was a major component
of the design concept from the start, ensuring
that the apartments receive daylight from
three sides. In addition to its front facade and
the courtyard facade, the building has a third
facade. Separating the main structure from
the stairway allowed more flexibility in the de-
sign of the floor plans: It was possible to elim-
inate interior load-bearing walls. Therefore,
each of the clients could choose how to or-
ganize the floor plan the only requisites
were the two concrete shafts for installations.
The overall circulation system incorporates
variety, too: Some apartments are directly
hooked up to the stairway via a short bridge,
while others have a spacious threshold doing
double-duty as a terrace. Foto: Bernd Borchardt, Berlin
