INTERIOR
The apartment is located at the corner of Invalidenstrasse and Ackerstrasse and is based in a current construction by the internationally renowned Graft group, who will accommodate their new office here, along with a few residential units.
On 167 m² there are 3 bedrooms respectively study, 2 bathrooms, 1 storage room and a very large living / dining / kitchen area and 2 balconies.
The bedrooms face the green inner courtyard, each with access to the balcony. The living / dining / kitchen area, also with a balcony, faces towards Ackerstraße with the poplar park opposite.
The north / south orientation and location on the 4th floor lets the sun shine into the rooms during the day and especially in the afternoon and late afternoon. In the bedrooms, which are oriented to the north, this studio light is created, as artists prefer, with constant, shadow-free brightness.
The construction of the building rests on walls and columns. Some important pillars are visible in the rooms and divide or structure the rooms, especially in the open living / dining / kitchen area. Here, for example, a column was integrated into the kitchen counter. In addition to the columns, the floor-to-ceiling glass facade with the very large sliding doors naturally plays an important role in the spatial experience. The outside penetrates unhindered inside and outside and inside merge into an almost never-ending spatial experience.
The rear bedroom / study have the same glass facade elements. Here, too, a feeling of infinity that arises.
The equipment standards can of course only be described as luxurious with pioneering technology; Soundproofed, highly thermally insulated with its own combined heat and power unit for underfloor heating and power generation, in order to be as autonomous as possible. The interior is also absolutely great. Extra-long, wide natural oak planks in all rooms create a warm atmosphere. Smoothly plastered walls, in this example sand-colored, harmoniously coordinated with the color of the oak floorboards, offer the right background for paintings and photographs. In addition, pistachio-green columns and beams, creating a beautiful, natural triad of colors.
Pure daylight awaits you in the en-suite bathroom with its large window. A double washbasin including a mirror with a floating base unit, a large shower plus toilet make it a pleasure to make the mornings chic, even for two.
Life here is calm and bright, technically up to date. Everything is designed to be extremely sophisticated and very functional. A living ambience for purists who love contemporary architecture that is based on the Bauhaus and for whom the underground parking space with elevator to the apartment is simply part of the quality of life.
OTHER
The interior construction takes place in coordination with the buyer and can therefore be individualized. The building description and the sampling (on demand) provide information about the current construction standard. An underground parking space can optionally be purchased for 75,000 euros.
EXTERIOR
At the corner of Invalidenstrasse and Ackerstrasse, the renowned architecture firm GRAFT, internationally known for its spectacular architecture, is realizing its latest project. A combination of work, living and cuisine is being created here in a six-story building. The new headquarters of GRAFT, which is to be located here, offers space for the architecture office as well as space for private living on the upper floors.
The property provided a kinked facade shape facing Invalidenstrasse and Ackerstrasse. The apartment has the advantage of facing Ackerstraße with the Pappelpark opposite. The glass facade testifies to the modernist aspirations of the architects.
The height of the building is based on the surrounding development. As a result, the dimensions of the architecture fit into the surroundings without wanting to deny that it was created in 2020/21. Following the example of Mies van der Rohe, for example, transparency plays an outstanding role. This naturally goes hand in hand with the incidence of light and solar radiation. Steel and glass in combination underline the references to the architecture of M. v. d. Rohe and Gropius, as they realized especially during their time in America.
The inner courtyard is also green so that you can enjoy a view of the green on both sides in the middle of Berlin. Anyone who loves classic-modern architecture and its translation into the present will get their money's worth here. Unusual because you hardly expect to live here. Spectacular in its strict adherence to an architectural philosophy that stands for contemporary technology and comes in a more objective design. Especially because it is seldom realized.
LOCATION
Central but still in the green - you can hardly live more ideally in Mitte. In the opposite Ackerstrasse, you can enjoy daily delicacies in the historic Markthalle VI (Ackerhalle), and those who prefer to be cooked for can go to Papà Pane di Sorrento - modern, honest Italian cuisine. If there is something to celebrate, famous Katz Orange is only a 3-minute walk away. Oh yes, and the best espresso can be found in the Röststätte and the most exciting vino selection (with small delicacies à la salmon from the Uckermark by Glut und Späne) is available in Vom Einfachen das Gute.
Those who enjoy sports can do so either with a run in or around the Volkspark (2 minutes away), or with a round of beach volleyball in the BeachMitte.
