Projektbeschreibung
Project Overview
Woho Berlin is a 29-floor multifunctional building / housing project constructed from wood that will be located in Kreuzberg, Berlin.
Project Brief
Mad Architects and Mud Landscape Architects, together with our skilled partners, have won the international competition to design a vertical city quarter in Kreuzberg, Berlin. The Woho project is planned to be 98 meters high, with 29 floors, and will thus be Germany's tallest wooden house.
Project Innovation/Need
Woho is a different high-rise building with a diverse program with a distinct social profile, and is in many ways a whole small district in itself. In this project, both climate and social sustainability are central. The plot is located in Kreuzberg, a central district of the German capital. Kreuzberg is diverse and unconventional, and we have wanted to reflect this in the competition proposal, and our concept is an interpretation of a typical Kreuzberg quarter, in vertical format.
Our competition proposal is a utility building where residents, users and neighborhoods are in focus. By breaking up the building into several smaller volumes with different heights, the building is adapted to the neighboring buildings and existing streets, and creates a recognizable scale, while at the same time building high.
The use of wood gives the project warmth and tactility, and provides an environmental benefit. Between the buildings, various urban spaces arise that are connected to surrounding parks and streets, which together with an actively programmed ground floor invites the city in. An exterior public staircase that connects the city floor to several of the roof terraces in the project supports this idea.
According to the plan, the high-rise will be able to house a number of functions, such as housing collectives, apartments - rental, social housing, student housing and freehold housing, kindergarten, cultural school, bakery, workshop, industry and several publicly accessible arenas both outside and inside the building. According to the plan, the final program will be further developed in close collaboration with the developer, district and stakeholders in the neighborhood in a participatory process. An exterior public staircase that connects the city floor to several of the roof terraces in the project supports this idea.
