A first glance reveals that something is missing in the courtyard of Bornholmer Straße 6 in the popular district of Prenzlauer Berg: Bare fire walls are reminiscent of the garden building that once stood in the quiet courtyard of the former Imperial Post Office. The new building, designed by Appels Architekten Zurich, consciously echoes the architectural language of the street front building, translating it for the present-day context. Exposed concrete ceilings and, in some areas, reinforced concrete staircases and polished cement screed floors characterize the industrial look of the new building, which also boasts a variety of design elements such as floor-length windows, herringbone parquet flooring with underfloor heating, high-quality branded bathroom fittings and electric sun protection. “The room heights, which in the townhouse maisonettes soar up to 6.09 meters, create a feeling of space reminiscent of an industrial loft, paired with all the comforts of an ultra-modern building,” explains David Borck, Managing Partner of David Borck Immobiliengesellschaft. Together with his 20-strong team, he is responsible for sales of the 24 newly built condominiums, whose prices start at EUR 319,000.
There are three types of apartments available in the new garden building, all of which are easily accessible by elevator. With one exception, the maisonettes are accommodated on the ground and first floors, offering living spaces of between 60 and 117 square meters. Four of the six maisonettes have their own entrances and some boast private terraces in the quiet inner courtyards, directly accessible from their living rooms. The mezzanine floor allows for room heights of up to six meters, providing these units with an abundance of natural light and creating the kind of roominess you only usually find in a townhouse. The two- and three-room apartments on floors two to five offer living space of between 52 and 93 square meters and feature private balconies or terraces, making them perfect for singles, couples and small families. “With room heights of almost 2.70 meters, highly efficient floor plans and open rooms and kitchens, the units certainly offer a generous feeling of space,” explains David Borck. The two penthouses on the sixth floor boast 111 and 122 square meters of living space and spectacular views over the city. Both units have open floor plans, private roof-top terraces with unobstructed vistas over Berlin and skylights that bathe the interiors in plentiful natural light.
The new six-story building with a full basement and staggered floors is reached via a newly renovated passageway from the front building. The new video intercom entry system and the upgraded mailbox system are also located in the passageway, which takes residents and their guests to the tranquility of the first courtyard as they leave the lively Bornholmer Straße behind. “As the development proceeds, the first inner courtyard will be resurfaced, trees will be planted and illuminated by spotlights, and new benches will be added to make the courtyard a great place to relax,” explains Caren Rothmann, also a Managing Partner. The first courtyard will also feature play areas for children and 34 bicycle parking spaces. The second courtyard can be reached easily via the entrance hall, which provides central access to the garden building. This courtyard will also be landscaped with newly planted trees and playground equipment for children.
As well as enjoying the sheltered location in the quiet inner courtyards, residents of Bornholmer Straße 6 also benefit from the vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere of Prenzlauer Berg. The neighborhood around Arnim Square, which is known locally as Arminkiez, is home to a wealth of restaurants and cafés. Schönhauser Allee, the lively boulevard that connects Arminkiez with Berlin-Mitte, is home to trendy shops and clubs, as well as the Schönhauser Allee Arcaden shopping mall, which is only 600 meters away from the development. The Schönhauser Allee and Bornholmer Straße subway and commuter train stations are also only moments away, and a tram stop is practically right outside the door. http://bornholmer6.de/
