LXK Campus

Located in the heart of Berlin, the building complex is part of the new CBD East and is intended to enrich the district with a mixed-use of office, residential, and commercial space. Two of the three blocks are planned as office buildings, while the third block will house around 140 apartments of various types with balconies and green roof terraces. The complex's energy programme benefits from PV panels, the complete elimination of fossil fuels, and the reuse of rainwater to reduce pollution in the city centre. A large number of bicycle parking spaces, changing rooms, and showers on the ground floor offer an additional service in this context.

The three separate building have 10 and 11 upper storeys, are designed in steel construction, and are built on a shared basement. The biggest planning challenge was the realisation of open spaces for office use. The columns had to be kept as close to the façade as possible while taking into account the various offsets in the building envelope. Eight different façade types are used within the façade design, with a focus on transparency and daylight optimisation. The triangular shape is a characteristic feature of the façade and also serves to extend the field of vision.
