The L-shaped townhouses on Brauerstrasse in Potsdam fit into an important urban context: Their immediate surroundings are characterised by the war-damaged and reconstructed buildings of the City Palace and the Nikolai Church as well as the nearby Barberini Museum.

The cubature and proportions of the new development are orientated towards its surroundings. The staggering back of the upper storeys towards the water and Brauerstrasse creates a striking gesture in the public space. Small-scale granulation and heterogeneity of appearance allow this group of houses to pick up the character of the development to the east of the museum.

The course of Brauerstrasse has been extended and led towards the water. The result is a public area that connects with both the existing park and the Alte Fahrt.

Architectural details give the ensemble a lively character. The façades vary in design and choice of materials.
