At Rosenthaler Strasse 43-45 in Berlin-Mitte, directly opposite the Art Nouveau ensemble of the Hackesche Höfe, a modern, three-part, new building has been erected using reinforced-concrete construction. It has seven storeys above ground, two basement levels, and picks up on and complements the surrounding neighbourhood's mix of residential, commercial, and office functions.
