In order to concentrate the offices of the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning, which are scattered across Berlin, at the Ernst-Reuter-Haus site as a central office centre, an extension was built on the Englische Strasse 5.

The façade on Englische Strasse presents itself as a sculpturally worked natural stone façade. Long bands of windows, offset against each other in storeys, are accentuated by wedge-shaped, flared reveal frames that alternately tilt forwards and backwards from the natural stone level.
