Planned as an administrative building, the building was most recently the Berlin headquarters of the British Embassy.
The natural stone cladding of the existing building was renovated in line with today's conservation requirements.

The smooth, precise façade of the new building in the courtyard with its materiality of black natural stone and gold-coloured metal profiles also deliberately contrasts with the old building in its crystalline, partially bevelled cubature. A fully glazed ‘joint’ acts as a connecting element between the buildings, which is continued in the penthouse-like staggered storey on the new building wing.


On the ground floor, the existing front building and the new building wing, which adjoins the old building in the eastern courtyard area, are accessed without steps via a prestigious main entrance with an impressive foyer.
