Kopenhagener
Kopenhagener is a feasibility study for the redevelopment of a monumental 1800s Hans Heinrich Muller Electricity Station Building located in Berlin, Germany. The facility is directly adjacent to the site of the former Berlin Wall, where urban scars had made it a blighted area before the collapse of the Wall. The potential architectural additions and re-uses for the Kopenhagener building would increase the density in the area and positively contribute to the diversity of the city. The redevelopment plan envisions a mixed-use building with added features such as cohabitation levels (lower and upper levels), mezzanine, residential offices, student housing, and underground parking. It also adds skylights and windows in the attic level, including a central glass roof in the center of the pre-existing building. The study sought to visually understand if it is possible to transform this historical building from a district electricity station into an expanded offices format, apartment complex with a student housing extension, and underground parking.
