The project was named after the historic Koenigstadt quarter of Berlin, which extends over parts of the districts Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain. With its timeless and quiet architecture, the different eaves heights, the building fits in with the urban atmosphere around Mollstrasse and continues the typical block edge structure by taking up the alignment of the existing development.


The residential complex consists of a ten-storey block, which is marked by two further storeys in the shape of a tower. A six-storey, staggered front building brings the eaves height back to the historical Berlin dimensions.


Regardless of its large dimensions, the building presents itself light and open through its room-high, generous window fronts and an openly designed, flat glazed ground floor. The lavishly designed, cove-like cornice strips made of coloured architectural concrete form a flowing line with the balconies, loggias and floor-to-ceiling windows and lend the facade matrix additional plasticity and tension.
