The Luetzowviertel is centrally located in Berlin between Potsdamer Platz, Tiergarten, and Gleisdreieck Park. 3 Hoefe (Three Courtyards) is a lively, independent quarter entirely in keeping with the courtyard architecture typical of mid-19th century Berlin, which was shaped by the Prussian urban planner and subsequently Berlin city planning officer James Hobrecht.

The residential section, with a total of 223 residential units, has seven full storeys and one set-back storey in the longitudinal blocks, and six full storeys and one set-back storey in the transverse and central blocks.
