Two seven-storey office buildings of the same size were built on the previously undeveloped site at Seestrasse 66-67 in Berlin as an extension to the commercial site of the listed Osram-Hoefe.

The normal storeys of the building sections were given different beige and colourful façades made of clinker brickwork with differentiated divisions. The building section on the right-hand side of the street was provided with a two-storey base zone and a three-storey, vertically structured central area, to which the two-storey roof area with a titanium zinc pitched roof is connected.

The building on the left also has a two-storey base area, but above it is a four-storey central area with glazed, large-format windows in segmental arches as a reference to early industrial modernism. This part of the building was given a staggered storey with a flat roof.

Following the Berlin building tradition, the courtyard sides have a reduced design.
