I'm pleased to report that Hutchinson & Partners have gained our first planning consent in Berlin, marking a significant milestone for the practice and our Berlin office.
The project, for Trei Real Estate, located on Hermann-Hesse-Straße in the district of Pankow, will see an existing at grade supermarket replaced by 61 residential apartments arranged in four buildings above a 1,200m2 supermarket. The project combines our new knowledge of Berlin with our London office's 18 years of expertise in food retail mixed-use projects.
It has made it a great start to the year, and with several projects in the pipeline and the launch of our new Berlin site finding service, we hope this will be the first of many successes for our Berlin office.
A huge thank you to all at Trei Real Estate (Pepijn Morshuis, Michael Schroeder, Apostolos Tsoupas, Katrin Morscheck and Marcus Beck) for giving us the opportunity to work on the project and for making it an enjoyable project to work on.
Another huge thank you goes to our Berlin Director Jörn Rabach and our team from Berlin and London, past and present who worked on the project including Rachel Braude, Boaz Rotem, Agnieszka Jedrzejak, Mirko Petzold, Manuel García S. Guadalupe Ferrera, Laura Smith and Nick Crane.
Lastly thank you to our collaborators: NOVIA Consulting & Baumanagement, Rainer Schmidt | landscape architects + urban planners, PSM GmbH, AWD Ingenieure, Gruner Deutschland, KREBS+KIEFER Ingenieure GmbH, vrame consult gmbh
Thank you too to HAZE viz for the great visuals!
Project Description:
The proposals are comprised of four buildings and three primary landscaped spaces that respond to the typology, form and grain of the surrounding context. At the front of the site, set back from the road behind existing mature trees and a landscaped front garden, two residential buildings of six and seven-storeys set above the supermarket, follow the stepped building line and eaves of the neighbouring context to form a new frontage onto Hermann-Hesse-Straße. To their rear they are served by a podium garden and playspace followed by two three-storey linear buildings arranged either side of a courtyard garden that respond to the characteristic form and lower scale of rear buildings known as Güllweg.
The proposals also include a basement containing plant, storage and car parking for residents in addition to car parking for supermarket customers.
The buildings employ a restrained material palette throughout of a stone base, an off white render/putz and bronze coloured standing seam zinc roofs. The dorma roofs and the distinctive double pitched mansard roof of the main front building reflect the roof forms of the surrounding context.
The project pursues ambitious sustainability goals. Integrating Energy House 40 design principals, the aim is to achieve both DGNB Gold and QNG certification.
