The housing market in German cities is tense, and affordable housing is scarce. As a young person without proof of income and without the possibility of looking for a place to live in person, one has almost no chance to find a centrally located accommodation in one’s dream city. That’s how it reads on the homepage of the start-up Medici Living, the lessor of our project in Berlin-Moabit. This new building provides space for a total of 50 residents, for whom modern business-flat-shares were designed. The compact five-story building is decorated in its facade by anthracite-coloured plaster. The courtyard and outdoor areas are designed as green areas with a playground. The housing units of the ground floor are barrier-free. In its cubic form, the planned building is oriented on the neighbouring building. Community areas promote social well-being. Special features such as fixed-furniture and a large community kitchen area support coexistence.
